Hi,

I am searching for what seems to be currently the impossible.

I am currently using a Windows 7 PC to watch Netflix, which is being unblocked with Hola to the US to give me the best range of shows.

However, using a browser this way does not give you 5.1 sound.

I know that Windows 8 has an app that does this but I am currently trying to get away from Windows at the moment.

Are there any devices out there that can allow me to have both US Netflix and 5.1 surround sound?

In addition to Netflix, I also use XBMC to watch everything else. Ideally, I would prefer to use a single device for both but will use two separate machines if I have to.

The one thing I have not tried is setting up a dual boot system with Openelec and Android x86 - do you think this might work?

Any help would be much appreciated.
 
Hi,

I wanted to avoid the Unblock US route too, if possible, in favour of Hola - is free and allows me to quickly flip between reasons when needed. There are a small handful of shows that we have in the UK but not the states.

yup ^^ you just revert the DNS settings back to manual mode, on the xbox it takes 1 minute to do this.

You don't even need to do that, if you have the android unblockUS app ( I presume the iPhone one is the same) of from a PC web browser on their web site you can choose the region you want and a few seconds later bingo its done.
