Netflix is now in the UK

Not sure if it will improve but i'm glad i got on the free trial. Shame i couldn't find anything to i wanted to watch on there

I don't see why it wouldn't improve, the Canadian list is superb. Well worth the money. Also remember its only £6 that's like two films a month to break even.

what are the legal things about using the us netflix on xbox using the dns settings? sounds daft but i dont want anything bad to happen lol

Works fine on PS3, no hassles.

Ridiculous they haven't got any Family Guy, American Dad or any decent shows on the UK one but are all accessible on the US site.

Is anyone who is using Unblock US having issues with streaming from Netflix US lately? All I'm getting at the moment is constant buffering and I can't work out if it is my somewhat dodgy (of late) Virgin VM connection or what.

I seem to have packetloss to stateside atm looking at some traceroutes, so that may be the cause.

Working perfectly fine here kainz :/

Kainz · 20 Mar 2012 at 17:56

Ok cheers. Need to get in touch with VM then as Netflix is just unusable really.

how are people paying for US netflix? I'm on to my second trial because of my billing address not being in the us.

You don't need a us account, just use uk account.

Any of the accounts work in any of the regions.It's just IP that determines which region you see.

Guessing the only way to make it seem that you're in the US is to use a website such as Unblock US? Guessing it's still pretty cheap all in!

having some trouble accessing the US version tonight. Keep getting error code R1207 on the xbox and removing the unblock-us settings sorts it. Looks like I've been cut off from the DNS

Anyone know of a free alternative>

I think they just have problems now and then, if you try it again later it may work.

Having the same issue. It also happened to me a few weeks back and turned out to be a Netflix problem not unblockus - hope it's the same this time.

Just pay for it, it's like £2

But I'm training to be a fully tight scottish git!

Looking at the unblock-us website it says my IP and it's free trial have expired so I#m guessing it's finally caught up with me

deadite66 · 31 Mar 2012 at 12:22

just tried mine and netflix is working, unblock-us expired also.

rustynuts · 31 Mar 2012 at 12:30

Just registered with Unblock-US and WoW there is so much more content on the US netflix.

Just a quick question.

Im not clued up on all this DNS stuff, but will this effect my online gaming speeds?

Psymonkee · 31 Mar 2012 at 22:57

Didn't appear to effect mine but since using it to watch things on Netflix I've not done much gaming

They have a list of sites that the DNS works for Netflix etc, everything else uses your normal internet settings as far as I can tell, so playing games etc should remain the same.

Just joined Netflix today and now noticed about this US unblock thing, might look in to that too

King85 · 1 Apr 2012 at 18:17

I'm a bit confused as to how to use my Netflix with unblock us if anyone could offer any help? I've got Netflix and the trial for unblock but I'm unsure of how to combine them.

Edit: I think I have everything working right but when I go on netflix it still looks the same, is this right? Can anyone give me a us only available film so I can see if it's available to me please?
