I use http://www.unblock-us.com/ to view the US version, has a lot more to offer than the UK version.

That's supposed to be a Phishing site btw...

Well it works. Just tried ITV player from work. Can't see it lasting though. I notice it doesn't let you get BBC iPlayer though (BBC are very fast at blocking proxies).

So what's the best way to get us Netflix? And anyway to get it via a smart tv?

Latest Samsung Smart TVs have it (series 6000 onward). Apple TV (99 quid), Roku (similar - and the general view is the lastest Roku is better than the Apple), your PS3 (that's how I first accessed it until the console was murdered by my daughter), Nintendo Wii etc. Loads and loads of ways. I've just got it working on the Android stick I use for XBMC on the TV in the spare room.

Edit: silly me. You know all that. You could get it by putting a VPN like HMA on to your router. I've not tried that yet, I just use HMA on PCs, but it should work.

Send me a link to an iPlayer you don't think I will be able to watch. I just watched some David Attenborough docu about Africa on iPlayer. Don't think I could do that before, but might be wrong

You're right, its working. I just assumed it wasn't because it wasn't on the list of sites on the Hola homepage.

US VPN & not to the best of my knowledge (Smart TV's don't let you use VPNs that I've seen).

Which is why you'd have to do it at router level. Its a bit of a clunky approach, and of course it affects your whole network, which is why I haven't bit the bullet yet (I do have plans to try it). Biggest problem for me is sometimes I want UK content, sometimes I want US, which is why the HMA front end is so good, and the router option is potentially a PITA.

 

[MYstIC G]

Not that I've tried but I imagine you'd be far better off with something like an iPad configured to use a US VPN (OpenVPN works on my iPhone for example) and then use that with AirPlay to output to the TV (e.g. with XBMC on a RaspberryPi). That way you would simply flick a switch on the iPad as necessary.

Lad I play WoW with uses the US Netflix, I will see how he does it.

Had the UK version for about 2 months, really enjoying the choice. Hooked on Breaking Bad and can't wait to watch arrested development. Allows me to watch things I would never buy and as I am working away alot its a nice distraction when staying in Travel Lodges and Premier Inns across the country. Granted I could go down the illegal route for stuff, but I don't want to. Netflix offers everything I need in a convenient cheap package.

BBC iPlayer blocked now.
