+1 . . no messing around with unblock-us . . Just a simple DNS change and you are laughing . . I also found speed problems with BlackVPN (and that is on a 30MB UPC connection).

And there's no traffic limit with unblock ?

Yeah, you need to set up a US iTunes account to download the apps themselves, then I think you can just use your regular account after that.

Go here: http://www.getusitunesaccount.com/

Just follow the instructions slowly and to the letter and you'll be done in 10 mins, max!

No . . Netflix is now on the Irish iTunes site, if you have changed your DNS settings then your iPad will automatically access the US selection .. no need for a US iTunes account . .

However, if you get a US account you will also be able to download ABC player, Spotify, Pandora, which all work with US-unblock.

If you get a UK iTunes account (same process) you will be able to download BBC iPlayer, ITV player ..

What DNS do I put in exactly? I think this is where I'm going wrong.

It wasn't for me, nor was it on the PS3 either (which I found odd) setting up the US and UK iTunes and PSN was the fastest and easiest solution.

Got US version of Netflix running on my PS3 like a dream. Im using the DNS settings from UnBlock US for their weeks free trial.

Does anyone know a work around to get free DNS settings without paying the subscription to UnBlock US. It'll be hassle setting up a new email every week just to get their weeks free trial and Im wondering if they'll cope my IP doing that every week?

Have been watching netflix for a week or so now (through the wii) and two things stand out as very annoying, the UI is pi$$ poor on the WII but even worse, there is seemingly no way of storing titles that you'd like to watch again at some future date. You're flicking through the content and see something but just aren't in the right mood for it at that moment, then you go back another time and can't for the life of you remember what or where it was :mad:

Will I pay to view next month though? Not unless they start ramping up the content PDQ.

I find the gui on the xbox to be the best but then compared to sky go on the xbox it's not great. One suggestion is when you see something, play it for about twenty seconds (you'll figure out how long after a few times) and then it will be added to your previously watched queue.

There is actually a huge amount of content on Netflix. Very little of it is shown on the front page and theres no alphabetical full search, it only brings up a small selection for each letter.

If you are on the US site, I posted a link to a website that lists all their titles.

The search function on the PS3 isn't great either. On PC you can search by Director, actor etc etc I presume the Wii is closer to the PS3

Found a film on the UK/Irish netflix that wasn't on the US one too, which I found a bit funny. Granted its out ages but missus hadn't see Rounders so we were going to watch it.

Great film too..

.. could be just me but when rating movies on my iPad, I came across a couple in recommendations which I couldn't find in the main categories.

As in I went through all categories carefully (clicked 'Load More' until it reached the end of each) a half hour earlier and rated everything I'd seen.

Then I was looking at a film and noticed a movie I'd seen which I hadn't rated, and can't remember seeing it in any of the categories.

Anyone else notice this?

The US unblock relates only to the device(s) where the DNS settings were altered.

You account with netflix doesn't change at all. If you only change the settings on your laptop at home, then you'll see the US content there. If you don't change the settings on your PS3 at home, you'll see Irish content there

Some have canged the info on their wireless router, hence all connected devices have changed

If you're using another network (ie work, mobile networks), you'll need to make the same changes (And I don't know if its possible for mobile networks)

I understand that - I think I've overlooked the fact that I had originally set up my iPhone with the DNS settings but later decided to just put it on the router instead. I'd forgotten I reverted by iPhone back to defaults so it was never going to be able to get US from work on their network.

I also overlooked the fact that my IE account was still active, despite cancelling it!

Please help !!

I have Netflix US working on the laptop since Saturday as i configured the UPC Cisco and entered DNS codes...however, I still can't watch anything on the PS3.
I am going into the browser and googling Netflix and logging in successfully. I can see the US content although when i try to play something it says you need to have some software ???

Am i right in going into netflix through the browser?

No. There should be a seperate Netflix app in the TV section. No need to use the browser.

We cannot find a TV section ??

If you don't have a TV section, try installing PS3 Home. When you turn on the PS3, just go up or down until you see Home and click on it and agree to install it. Then you should have a TV section with Netflix on the home screen if you scroll left.

Does this not work on apple tv/iPad if you signed up with your FB account? When I try to login on them using my FB email and password I get an "invalid login" message
