I'm think of getting Netflix, but if I signed up I would want to access Netflix from other countries, American Netflix for instance, so I get greater content.

I know how you can get in through American servers whilst watching on a laptop, but is there any way the Netflix app from the Play Store can be "adjusted" to enable me to watch American Netflix on my Nexus 10?

The same question stands for watching it through Samsung's Smart TV?

You don't do *anything* to the Netflix app to enable watching Netflix US and other versions - you change the DNS servers of the device you're using, just like with a desktop or laptop. [Or you change the DNS servers on the router, to affect all devices on the network]

So long as you can change the DNS on your Nexus 10 and Samsung Smart TV, you're good to go.

I use UnblockUs. Recently tried it on my Samsung TV too and was just as simple as it is on PS3 and iPad. Enter the DNS numbers, go to the website and pick my chosen region.

If you use Chrome or Firefox the Media Hint add-on would do the job for you. Also lets you watch all the great content on Hulu.

Yes, but does it work on a Nexus 10 tablet?

I might be wrong but by default android doesn't support autoproxy configuration which is used by mediahint so I have a feeling that in fact it won't work.

However there are some autoproxy apps available on google play store which should then make is mediahint compatible.

I believe that the mobile version of Chrome is different in very many ways from the PC version and does NOT support the same plugins!
