    Thanks for the recommendation on Boss watched the first 2 episodes tonight excellent show

    It's a shame the Starz Deal comes to an end with Netflix on Feb 28, thats going to be a lot of content dissappearing from US Netflix 2500 programmes/tv shows from what I've read.

    Wow that's a huge amount of content. Have they signed any deals since to replace Starz?

    The excellent Boss is now available to watch on the US store. Only there for the next 23 days so best get watching it asap, it's by far the best show of the past year.

    From what I've read it won't all disappear at once but will be phased out over time. Much of the Starz content is listed as not expiring till later in the year. While there's some great content disappearing it does mean that there's an additional 300 or so million to be spent on new content.

    fingers crossed for HBO! Will be watching Boss this weekend I think, had not heard of it before.

    Only bothered to get Netflix now. Had a quick look at the selection just in the Irish version and it's definitely worth a measly €6.99 a month. Loads of great 80s movies and modern tv shows will do for me. Plus it has a new documentary called The Interrupters that I have been meaning to watch for ages. Great stuff!!!!!!!!!

    Yeah, all you need is a VPN (basically changes your IP address to one in the States). I'm sure there are free ones out there but I use Witopia ($40 for the year)

    Need to set up the account after you change your DNS settings to get the queue.

    Pretty sure you need a US account.if you want to go to the bother of setting up another account with new email address and a US address, it will work with your Irish cc.

    I agree you only need a DNS re-routing service like you say and i have used both but i think Unblock-us is probably the best.
    http://www.unblock-us.com/?v=2
    Your speed is not affected at all and when you have set it up you are automatically connected to the American netflix site.Pandora is available too which is a great source for music.Works out at €3.80 a month for Unblock-us

    Minding my nephews last night and they watched half the power rangers movie, a Garfield cartoon film, spongebob & super Mario bros episodes. I'm seriously thinking of getting rid of sky altogether, and just going with a freesat box & Netflix.

    Just wondering if anybody has used Unblock US on a WD TV Live Streaming Media Player?

    Just set up the free trail on my laptop and it works a treat, but would like to set it up to watch on my TV. And as my TV does not support Netflix natively, I use the WD TV Live Streaming Media Player.

    The Unblock US set up page for WD devices says that it will not work with devices bought outside the US, but I am sure I have heard of folks who have it working on UK bought WD Live Devices.

    TIA for all responses

    Watching Brotherhood at the moment, well worth checking out.

    "This award-winning series tells the story of two working-class, Irish-American brothers -- self-important politician Tommy Caffee and mobster Michael -- whose divergent personalities make it hard to remember that they are family".

    Loving this - TV3 aired the pilot and then stopped for some reason. Great that Netflix has the three seasons.

    How is it setup?

    Connect to Internet--->Update Firmware--->Select Netflix(?)--->Press play?

    Are you limited to Irish Netflix?

    I'm in the process of doing just that.

    I was a bit worried before the trial period that my internet connection wouldn't be up to scratch but it's working perfectly. I'm fairly happy with the content. Working my way through 'Breaking Bad' and 'Damages' at the moment. If I can get access to the US version with a vpn, everything is even better. The cost pales in comparison to my current sky package.

    €7 a month?Great value in my opinion.
