Hi Guys! I just signed up for the free 7 days earlier today and I'm absolutley loving the freedom of what it has to offer (Currently watching Family guy on the US netflix at the mo lol.).I have it set up on my PS4. I have a a few questions though, which I would appreciate if some one of you smart guys or girls could answer for me.

1. Is this 100% legal to do? (I really hope so as I don't want to break the law)
2. After i'm finished watching stuff do I set it back to the UK region when i'm finished for the night?
3. How many devices can I use my subscription with?

Thanks in advance.

1: It's not illegal to use, but technically your getting access to to content your not supposed to have access to from your location, but when your traveling around the wold Netflix does allow you to access the content of the country your in .
2: No you can leave it on whatever region you like.
3: You can use whatever is connected to your network, but with Netflix you can only access 1 region at a time unless you remove the DNS settings from another device then you can watch 1 device on UK and a different region on another.

If you've got a smart phone then save this link to your Homescreen then you've got a handy region selector. http://m.unblock-us.com/

I have got a uk Netflix account and I also watch us Netflix
simple way to do this is download mozila firefox and search for hola unblocker ad on
and then just download and install it(its free)
you can then search for us Netflix and put your pass word and account details in as you would for uk Netflix and hey presto you can watch us Netflix and believe me its 100 times better than uk Netflix you can also download the us tv stations such as hulu and abc and plenty others no need to mess around with these so called unblocking sites

all with no charge
. I've been using Firefox and Hola for some time now (Hola also works on Chrome.)

However over the past number of weeks when I've attempted to cast Netflix America to my TV I get the following error message 'Default Netflix: "Woops...We're Having Trouble Playing This Title Right Now' and it advises me to try again at a later date or a different film but no matter what film I try it won't cast. Funny thing is though I can watch the film on my iPad or Galaxy s4, I just can't cast ! Netflix UK offers no problems

Looking around the internet this issue seems to be cropping up all over the place. Any UK members got this problem, and anyone find a solution?

From the device you are using go to the internet browser and sign into unblock us site , it will probably say " looks likes your IP address has changed " click on it to activate and you should be ok from there .

Can everyone access Netherlands okay? I was watching Fargo and then it went down and now I can't access it at all. Every other region is perfect. Really annoying as I was really into the show.

Unblock-US users, do any of you watching on a PC/Laptop permanently keep your DNS set to their servers? I heard they only change the DNS for the sites they support, so was thinking of just keeping my DNS settings set up with their IPs as I've found myself manually changing several times a day.

Yep set up permanently, only time I change them is if I have a problem and I'm testing, which is very rare for me.

Same here - always setup.

I had an issue with setting up - emailed their support, was sorted in an hour.

Don't know how I couldn't cope with all the regions, such a good variety of stuff.

Btw Frozen is now on Netflix NL wooooooooooop!

Is there a way of getting Netflix US with the Roku stream stick? Would I have to pay Unblockus?

Is it much easier to do it on the ps4?

If you can change you dns settings in your router you can get usa netflix on a ROKU, if not you might be able to use your own router with the router in modem mode if it's vm.
Otherwise its best just to set it up on your ps4.
Unblockus costs about £2.40p/m you can get a free 7 day trial.

Rather than mess around with various addons to browsers I decided to go down the road of VPN and signed up with Get fix and at 3.95 dollars for a month giving me excess to all the Netflix regions as well as other sites I thought it a good deal and well worth the money

I still don't have a clue how to do it on the Ps4, i thought it was just as simple as creating a US based PSN ID but apparently it isnt, anyone know how to do this?

I am using VM, with superhub one. Unsure how to change the DNS settings, does this mean I will have to change codes passwords etc for all my devices, will all my devices be US based, if so I'd rather not do that.

Preferably I would set it up on my ps4 and then access it on the Playstation TV coming out in November in the upstairs bedroom.

You can't change dns in virgins superhub you can however get a cable router put the superhub into modem mode and connect the cable router to your superhub and set the dns up on your new cable router.
This guide will show you how to set the dns up on your ps4 imo unotelly are also the best to use http://help.unotelly.com/support/art...ur-playstation

Quite often you'll find that a film or series you'd lik to watch is not available in your Netflix region. Short of checking region by region is there anyway you can search the full Netflix database to find out if they streaming it somewhere else?

As always many thanks for your replies

You bet, www.moreflicks.com

Just make sure Netflix is selected in the menu (and no specific Netflix country), then when you do a search, it will look through all the different country libraries. Simply tap the Netflix logo afterwards to find out which country you need to switch to.
