FAO Netflix Users

If you are subscribing to Netflix UK then you can also use Chrome/Firefox extensions to hide your IP so that you can access the US version and watch the shows on there so more TV/Films for your money.

I use Hola Unblocker on Chrome and its fine. You can set which sites to unblock so I have currently unblocked Netflix, CBS, FOX and Hulu.

i'll give it a try now JB

Do i need one of the 2 or both? (I use Chrome)

I use it to unblock CBS so I can watch How I Met Your Mother in HD rather than on dodgy streaming sites. Hurts my eyes watching rubbish quality streams.

Just the one. Its the same extension. One is a link to the official Hola site and the other to the Chrome store for extensions. Its a free extension so download it and should be fairly easy what you can do. Seems a bit mad how it works but it does.

Im almost blushing asking this question JB, But how can i tell im on the US version of Netflix after ive logged in

Can you post a link for me to make sure im landing on the US version

Just done it! Loads more choices to watch. Cheers!!!

It is difficult to work out because some shows are the same on both. Best thing to do is go to the UK version by switching it off, look at the top list of say comedy films or stand up and then turn it back on. Then you should be able to see the difference when you refresh Netflix.

You'll know if its working if you go to CBS and try and play a show.

You do not have the required permissions to view the files attached to this post.

oh wait, I see the show you mentioned 'how i met your mother' and thats deffo not showing on my mobile version, thanks for that James, thats my night shift now full of entertainment.

CBS works James, Thanks again

My house internet dont go on until sometime tomorrow so im just at a friends at the moment watching TV shows for the evening and relaxing putting Netflix to some good use.

I use alternative DNS settings on my PS3 and Xbox 360 for Netflix due to my PC growing old. The US catalogue is so much better, and I no rarely find myself watching regular TV now.

Any chance of a quick lesson on how to adjust ps3 setting to allow this to work for me?

Trying to do this on my iPad. Anyone had much luck?

What extra things do you get on the US version?

Cant see how this could work on the Ipad as you are super restricted with downloads, and therefore would'nt be able to add the neccessary IP address hiding software?? im sure JB will confirm

Don't think its possible on iPad mate as the browser is device specific and is Safari which is unsupported sorry mate.

Im sure the only way to do it on the iPad would be to jailbreak it and then using VPN type software to pretend you're elsewhere but I wouldn't bother. Its a reason I sold mine and got a Kindle Fire HD instead. For all its pros such as a great catalogue of applications it has terrible faults like the lack of flash support and tightly imposed restrictions.

Yeah downloaded Chrome but still can't do it. This is one of those occassions where Android beats Apple.

James, how do I add ABC to the unblock list?

It works a treat and all. Brilliant. It did take me a while to find a DNS setting that worked mind.

Top right corner by the address browser you should have a little flame symbol. Thats for Hola Unblocker. Click on that and then on settings and from there you will see a list of all the currently supported sites. I dont think ABC is on there.

For ABC use mediahint

I dont use it as nothing on ABC I want to watch that I cant get elsewhere.
