Well? Does anyone know? According to some forum I read it was taken down a few months ago with promises it would be up within a few weeks. It hasn't happened....

Im not sure if you'll see it anytime too soon as Lovefilm have the rights to steam it in the UK at the moment. Saying that though Lovefilm never had an exclusivity deal for Lost so it still could arrive at anytime.
If you are desperate then its available on US Netflix so depending on your device you should be able to get access to it if you use Unblock-US.

I've got access to both UK and US Netflix on Wii.
Goto http://unblock-us.com/ and start a 7 day trial then goto the following link for Wii setup and watch the video.
http://support.unblock-us.com/custom...rticles/291547

Edit: if you follow this then my advise is to setup a second Wii Internet connection then apply the DNS settings to that.
Then that way you can use connection 1 for UK Netflix and connection 2 for US Netflix.

I've only created one as I only really want to watch Lost. Will clicking on Netflix on my Wii take me directly to the US one?

As long as you've use used unblock-us DNS then yes.

Oh, yes of course. I suppose if I go to one of the other remaining connections on my Wii I'll have to download Netflix which will inevitably be the British version, yada yada yada.

Btw, I've tried loading Lost now, but I get this message,

"We're having trouble playing this title at the moment. Please try again later of select a different title."

Is it just Internet connection?

No, as you've already got the Netflix channel.
The only reason I suggested to use a different connection was to make it easier to switch between UK and US Netflix content.
When your using unblockus DNS Netflix thinks your traveling within the US so loads their content.

Btw, I've tried loading Lost now, but I get this message,

"We're having trouble playing this title at the moment. Please try again later of select a different title."

Is it just Internet connection?

Have you tried a different programme?

When you change between unblocks DNS and non DNS it loads the apropriate content.
Ooh, fancy.

Yeah, they don't seem to work. Maybe I'll come back to it later...

Did you click on 'Check Service' on unblockus site before loading up Netflix?

Yes and I did again.

Two ticks.

"Your trial is active." and "This device is setup correctly"

I've been on Netflix (UK) since it launched over here and Lost has never been on it at all.

It's been on Lovefilm since I signed up with them in February, though.

Lost is apparently coming soon, i remember reading somewhere that Lovefilms rights to it run out at the end of this month so it could be on Netflix next month.

Again - this just proves we need Captainkremmen's digital wholesale market STAT!

Then there wouldn't be an issue with both Netflix and Lovefilm retailing streaming access to the same title.
