Netflix
 

anyone uses netflix here? i'm new to the thing and i'm trying to use proxy's to connect to the US version of netflix since they have way better content than us supposely.. now here's a stupid question.. how do i tell whether i'm in netflix US or canada site? thx in advance

Depends on what device you're using... on my iPad there is a message saying something like "hello customer we detect that you are in the united states so you may notice a change in the available titles". With proxy, it feels like the library is 10x larger. Just go to new releases and it should look radically different.

Are you subscribing to a service? Or just using free proxies?

i have my own netflix account. i'm trying to use the unblock us thing to link to the US netflix site

which proxy are you using?

If you can find a free proxy server that works let me know.. I tried but nothing seemed to work!

Free ones do not work. Save yourself the hassle and subscribe to something like unblock-us.com

Been using unblock-us.com and it's been great! Love all selection of TV shows that I can watch on the american netflix.

Check to see if it has 24, Prison Break, or How I met your mother. I think those aren't on the Canadian ones. I don't know for sure since I haven't used the canadian one in a while

Netflix here is so bs.
Had it for half a year and just canceled it because there's never anything good on.

Truthfully I probably would have never cancelled it if my credit card hadn't gotten scammed. lol

For 8 bucks it wasn't bad actually..

:considered:
US one IS STILL BETTER!!

i'm trying to use unblock-us.com too but i'm clueless how to use it. do i need to make a new account and have a US billing address and stuff before i can use the US netflix? cause i'm still being linked to the canadian netflix, i'm assuming coz i'm using a canadian paypal?

If there are any remotely new movies that you have even an inclination to watch, then you're on the US site. If you see only kids shows, movies from the 50s and documentarys, you're on the candian site :P

lol :D

It goes by IP.

I signed up in Canada. My GF lives now in the US and uses my netflix.

So if you login to netflix using a USA IP address (AKA Proxy server or VPN) you should get all the US content

I don't know if there is any change is the UI or logos.. if it's just purely the selection, yu might have to try and search for a movie you know the US has but Canada doesnt. For example, Canada does't have Iron Man 1

I use my Netflix mostly on my ps3. Is there a way to get a US ip on the ps3?

Unblock-us.com works if you're willing to pay.

I've been looking to access US content for the longest time. I've checked many solutions. The free ones (VPN, proxy, whatever) do not give you a good speed. You're going to see buffers more often than you will like. If you truly want US content, you will have to pay for a third party service.

Unlock US is hands down the best. Super easy to set up too. If you are at home with a router, then you just have to reconfigure the router. No need to configure your PS3, Apple TV, computer, laptop, etc.

For lungfish23, Unblock-Us | Setting up PS3
For terkan, How to setup and look at the very top of the page "Click for easy set up instructions:"

for those who have unblock-us, what are some of the ways you take advantage of the service besides netflix? i know theres tons of good US services out there.. just don't know what they are..

^ HULU.COM

Hulu plus all the US TV websites that have content online.

one thing interesting i noticed, if i use my iphone to tether to my vita to watch netflix i get a lot more choices of movies than i do when i just use my wifi. even though my ip on my iphone isn't american i'm guessing my ip is toronto based. maybe i'll just use my iphone to tether from now on lol assuming the data usage ain't insane :P

It will be if you're watching HD.

Just signed up for Netflix, and also UnBlockUS. It's working great!

From what I can tell, UnBlockUS just provides DNS translation to give the Netflix IPs you'd get, if you were in the US. So, is there a hosts file out there I can download, so I don't need to shell out $5 a month? ;)

i've been using the free version of hotspot shield and its been working with the US version of netflix just fine.

I had one that worked beautifully... SO fast too.. but it dosent work anymore as of 3 days ago :alone:
