    Hi All,

    I've been using Netflix for a few months and it's ok.. But i'm seeing ad's around for TurboFlix and other companies which allow you to access the US netflix which has nearly 3 times the amount of content.

    Does anyone do this ?

    Do I need a new account in the US and close my irish account ?

    I'm on UPC and use Apple TV to watch Netflix - So i'll probably have to change router settings to get the VPN to work.. does anyone know if this is true ?

    thanks.

    I had access to it for a while, but that stopped as the tool (won't name it here) I was using no longer worked. I didn't have to change accounts.

    You don't need a new account to access American netflix. Lets just say you were in the US, or your computer maybe thought you were there for some reason, then it just switches straight to the US version and switches back to the Irish version when you get back to Ireland.

    Canadian Netflix is better IMO.

    lads... from testing these free ways i've found them rubbish.. I ended up just paying for a US VPN ( US IP address ) and it's working no problem.

    If you are using the Apple TV then there is no easier way to do it than changing the DNS settings. Literally takes 60 seconds are costs nothing.

    I have been using the same set of DNS numbers for the last year and you would not know at all that there is anything different.

    If you are interested then shoot me a PM and I will send them to you.

    Was doing this for a while but it became a pain having to change back the router to the original settings. Internet was so slow when linked to USA DNS settings. :(

    Any easy way to link PS3??

    Charter: Discussing how to bypass geographical limitations to watch streaming content is also a no-no (i.e. how to watch Hulu outside the US)
