    Fr Ted is on the American Netflix not the Irish/Uk one strangely enough.

    Its obviously a rights issue and a matter of what they consider worth paying for, probably cheaper for US rights (probably part of CH4 deal).

    There was a few updates today. The Netflix UK twitter & FB announces them. What were you hoping for?

    I didn't know that- cheers.
    Not really sure what I'm hoping for - what does anyone hope for really? A fulfilling life, a strong support network, decent broadband...

    I've been watching Firefly. It's ok. I notice as well that it's been 8 days since I did the DNS switch thingy and it still seems to be working.

    Had a problem with the US Netflix last night. It kept hanging and I eventually had to quit. When I tried to get back in it was looking for me to log on again & then I got an error. It was some sort of "DNS Error" .
    I thought that's it, the good times are over & its back to the Irish Netflix.
    But I then rebooted the PS3 & tried again & much to my delight it was still working & still on the US Netflix. :)

    Thats exactly what i thought too, how it seemed much more like a american chopper kinda show, more intricate details, more actual myths.
    Now its seems like a proper entertainment show, the contrast between times is interesting.

    Anyway. Netflix.. yay.

    Netflix on trial about a week now.

    Watching 3~4 movies a day. Seen them all previously, apart from the animation and childrens' stuff, there's hardly a movie in the IE version that I have not seen previously.

    I did not know what to expect, I'm calling myself disappointed, every movie broke down three or four times and I'm on a 17mb business feed.

    For the low intro price, OK it's not too bad, but the full price won't attract me, it's not a SKY killer.

    Can't get any lower than free!:pac:




    I wonder should there be a thread (I guess this one?) for recommending stuff to watch that's on Netflix seeing as it's quite easy to not be aware exactly what's there or if it's any good?

    http://support.unblock-us.com/customer/portal/articles/291530

    Free trial for a week. $4.99 a month after that.

    US content is much better.

    So it's free on some devices (by changing your DNS settings), just not on your laptop?

    Why would someone pay 4.99 a month for it if there's a free way to do it? Or am i missing something?

    But I could get the DNS settings before I entered my email. Instead of pressing sign up I press the setup button and clicked my device and got the DNS settings.

    I don't know how it deactivates after 7 days.

    What will exactly? I haven't downloaded any software, all i've done is change the old DNS settings on my PS3. Or does that stop working eventually?

    The DNS server will stop working and direct you to their site for verification. Just a question of when

    Interesting. And here was me thinking it was free. Heh, so that brings it up to eleven euro a month for a decent netflix.

    Are we all happening to be using this as DNS?

    208.122.23.22
    208.122.23.23

    Or how about if we use:

    184.106.242.193 (I don't think this one works as it takes you to a website if you enter the address)
    67.23.7.56

    I found them ones on this page: http://support.unblock-us.com/customer/portal/articles/291525

    Don't think so.

    This is a good site for seeing what's popular though.

    I presume because it has your ip address, after 7 (or 9 in reality I think, I started last sunday and it said under my account that payment is due next tues.) days of trial if you haven't paid it will discontinue your service. Anyway 3.85 a month for a reliable US dns is excellent value imo.
