Looks like I can't use it. Was onto live chat there and I think I need to change router settings. My ISP is Pure Telecom, crappy technicolour router. Don't think I can access settings. Getflix said "Unfortunately without DNS and Static routing entries on your router Netflix US region won't work on your LG TV device."

There is a work around I’ve heard of where you can use homeplugs and change the settings on the homeplug

Sign up to a different one that does offer it?

Maz2016 · 21-07-2018 3:40pm

Got my first charge after my free month with Netflix Turkey €5.16 for 2 screens. Pretty happy less than half the price of paying Netflix Ireland

As I don’t have a smart tv I would be using chromecast to cast from my phone to TV. Would I be using VPN just to sign up as chromecast doesn’t work when using a VPN?

All you need to do is sign up and set up payment through the vpn. Then no need for vpn.

I'm just coming to the end of my free trial month with Netflix. I canceled my subscription and tried to set it up again under Netflix Brazil.
I went to Netflix website (.br) and sign in, clicked reactivate my account but it was still in Irish pricing. Have I missed something?
I was using a vpn and was definitely "in Brazil"!!

Have you tried deleting history etc

Enrico Palazzo · 25-07-2018 5:54pm

Maybe it's because you technically still are on a sub from a different country.

There is a free trial of Amazon Prime available also - 30 days.

MY Samsung TV had Amazon Prime as an app - so I gave it a go - just like netflix there is quite a few movies and 4K tv available free to watch under the trial subscription.

good for something different to watch...

Just chat with Amazon CS and tell them you want to change your Prime Video region to the UK. That's what I, and many other Boardsies, have done

yoshimitsu · 26-07-2018 10:07am

slightly unrelated question... is there any content on Amazon Prime UK in 4K/HDR? Tried to search the web (and the catalogue) and it looks like there is 4K content but I'm not sure if it's in the library included with Prime i.e. you have to pay extra to view it

I set the TV up to be UK region (Secret menus and button presses)
I have no VPN currently enabled on it (have getflix but its too slow).
My account is standard Irish Amazon account
I think having Prime tv and music access is very new to Irish accounts.
I enabled prime trial last week while I was ordering stuff from their website.
There is another BA here how to get prime student prices - but I havn't tried it.
There is a Row of programs titled 4K in the TV APP that you can scroll through.

I miss the "Go Back 10 Seconds" feature Netflix has and the scroll bar to select position - the rewind is very poorly done in the Amazon app.

Otherwise excellent bonus if you use prime as a service already. But wont replace Netflix in our house.

OmegaGene · 26-07-2018 10:40am

I’m surprised to hear getflix is slow
Are you sure that’s the issue and it’s nothing else ?
Getflix use a smart dns to change location to uk and USA which tends not to have any impact on speeds unlike a vpn which will slow your speeds down
I have getflix set up on the router and everything is going through it without issue

I have a fast Virgin Media service that works well for everything else - 200mb+

When getflix is enabled on the TV (by switching dns setting) it takes ages to show all the netflix icons - video buffers and doesn't play full bitrate (blocky).
I've tried several of the DNS servers including Ireland one we are supposed to use. Gave up on it.

If you set up the custom DNS on phone/PC/Laptop, do you see the same slowness?

Nah there are a few Netflix groups too, I’m in one and it reduces the cost €30 for the year last time

I signed up for the 4 screen 4k Mexican one.

3 spaces left as my dad etc already are signed up.

Costing me mx 199 a month. /+/- 8.95€.

9 x 12 = 108 ÷ 4 = €27 each per month for 13 months.

First 3 pms will secure a profile.

Edit these are all gone now.

Obviously I have an account already, and the lads have ask paid upfront for it, but I've a pal who wants a space so I'm keeping an eye out for him.

Currently the Argentine netflix or Turkish one is working out at roughly 7€ per month for the same deal.

7 x 12 = 84 ÷ 4 = 22€ for a full years netflix?

Great deal, so if anyone wants to get another family up and running - put my name in the hat, I'll square you up straight away.

TheDriver · 29-07-2018 5:33pm

True but you rely on everyone only using one screen at a time plus everyone has access to each others profiles. A high level of trust is required unlike Spotify

Works fine for me, I only ever use one screen at a time and who would bother looking at another person profile that’s just immature
Ohh what are they watching lol

Mines been on the go since Oct, I've never had an issue with it.

There's 3 x other profiles there, and hand on my heart, I've never even thought of looking at anyone's watch history as I don't see the point.

It's a cheap way to enjoy premium netflix for the year.

Getflix is a smart dns route which doesn’t slow speeds as far as I know and not a vpn, although they do offer a vpn service I’ve never used it

Download Hola on your mobile, select chrome to open with Turkish servers.

Works flawlessly.
