Maybe just list out what you did start to end - from Network settings.

It is probably something really small. Should not be a need to adjust your router - maybe include which service provider you are with.

Looking at the link from Basq earlier - the only difference I made was I configured my IP address manually - but otherwise that guide is pretty much it - though I used different DNS addresses - I used the 22 one and the 23.

Just to be sure on mine - set manually.

IP = 192.168.20.50 (I connect my PS3 via another device hence the 20) - will be different for you
Default Gateway = 192.168.20.1 - will be different for you
Subnet = 255.255.255.0
DNS 1 = 208.122.23.22
DNS 2 = 208.122.23.23

Then went all way to end - tested - got Nat 3 - hit X again and exited.

You may need to restart / clear your cache.
Netflix took a long time to open - but when it did got the lot.

@Mods - any chance we can have a separate thread for Netflix film/tv discussions so that folk like me who don't care about going for the US content aren't stuck wading through pages of people asking for help with Unblock-US or whatever?

A separate Netflix content recommendation thread is in order now I think, (for US and local versions) the last 45 posts (could be more gave up counting past that) are about only unblock and setting up on devices etc, would be nice to check in quickly for other peoples discoveries on it.

That doesn't seem to work for me. 'Unable to find an access point. Please confirm the SSID and try again'. Hmm. Edit, I think I know why. Back in a sec.

Here's some good news, particularly if you're using the US content!! Hopefully could get some decent movies relatively soon after release.

Newswire Netflix will stream The Artist and other Weinstein Company films before they appear on cable

by Sean O'Neal February 21, 2012

In an instance of arrogant game recognizing arrogant game, The Weinstein Company has signed an exclusive deal with Netflix—its analogue in being initially groundbreaking, then undone by its own braggadacio, then slowly clawing its way to redemption—that will allow Netflix to stream the Weinsteins’ movies before they appear on pay cable channels. These include recent releases such as The Artist, Ralph Fiennes’ Coriolanus, Madonna’s W.E., France’s The Intouchables and Sarah’s Key, and the high-school football documentary Undefeated, all of which will premiere on Netflix within a year of their theatrical releases, all of which will be welcome additions to Netflix’s frequently dire New Releases section. Especially W.E., which you can now get drunk and make fun of without the sobering hassle of first acquiring the DVD.

one thing i wish netflix has was a "to watch" list, like I've found random stuff on there and though oh yeah I'll get round to that then forgot about it, I know you can watch the beginning of something to make it show on the recently watched list but it vanishes when you watch more stuff.

the ps3 interface is gack as well, and the search function SUCKS

Cancel your subscription and sign back up with the DNS set for the US store. Same procedure as before and it can be done in a minute, next time you sign in you have access to an instant queue where you can mark content for later. Be warned that you may find yourself, like I have with 500 titles in your queue.

Comcast have launched a rival service to Netflix today.

Quote:
Comcast has officially unveiled its new streaming video service, Xfinity Streampix. This new service aims to provide facilities similar to those offered by Hulu Plus, Netflix and Amazon Prime. Xfinity Streampix is hoping to appeal to users looking to cancel their cable TV subscriptions and instead opt for a premium streaming service that meets their video consumption requirements. On February 23rd 2012, Streampix will officially go live and will be available for Comcast customers owning either a double-or triple-play subscription package. This means the user will have to subscribe to both TV services as well as a regular or Internet telephone plan in order to be eligible.

Users with just a basic subscription service will have to pay $4.99 per month additionally to get this facility.

SVP of Comcast Video services, Marcien Jenckes, commented: "We also recognize there's a marketplace for streaming deeper-library movies and TV shows and that's where Streampix comes in," stated a Comcast blog post.

"With Xfinity Streampix, we're adding more past season TV shows, more movies and more value to our customers' subscriptions."

Streampix will be available on various platforms including web browsers, Xbox 360, Android powered devices and also iOS devices.
