[NB] Most, if not all, of the free DNS settings no longer work. This post has been left as a sticky for those using paid for DNS services.

apparently this works on ps3/360 and I can confirm works on PC.

simply change DNS settings to :
primary: 212.122.23.22
secondary: 212.122.23.23

go to netflix and should now show all USA content (which is tonnes better than what the UK service offers!)

Left off? Media Hint still works. (Not that there's anything wrong with either plug in.)
 
Re: Netlix USA on UK equipment

If one was to change their routers DNS so it gave everything that american DNS, would it then let that person watch american netflix on their apple TV?

Asking the question so to speak ;)

Yes, but you'll lose access to UK geolocked VoD services such as iPlayer.

Instructions for changing DNS on the Apple TV:
  1. Open Settings
  2. Open General
  3. Open Network
  4. Select Wi-Fi or Ethernet
  5. In the Wi-Fi or Ethernet configuration menu, select Configure DNS and select Manual
  6. When asked for the DNS address*, enter: 069.197.169.009
    (pad with leading zeroes where applicable)
  7. Select Done, exit to main menu
  8. Select Restart in the General menu
Source: Get started with AppleTV | tunlr.net

*DNS address quoted is for the free tunlr.net service, others such as the one in the OP should work too.

@little-pob
probably did not explain myself well as yes media hint still works but hola unblocker is like its big brother so to speak using a vpn style where you can pick your location in options both brilliant free add ons

Correct me if I'm wrong. While the hola method would work I think it would better to change the DNS.
I know that it's more comfortable to use hola than chainging the DNS on your router, but as Hola is kind of VPN the speed could be lower than if we just use our connection

If you're using PC, unblock us provides a small utility for switching between us and uk netflix.
 
Re: Netlix USA on UK equipment

is there anything that can be done if you are using netflix on smart tv
 
Google us Netflix dns settings,I've a Samsung smart bluray player changed dns and get us netflix so I would of thought a smart tv would be the same

The settings in the OP work for my mate. Alternatively try those from the tunlr website:
tunlr.net said:
Primary DNS: 69.197.169.9
Secondary DNS: 192.95.16.109

If your TV needs 3 digit address pad out to the left with zeros:
i.e.
Primary DNS: 069.197.169.009
Secondary DNS: 192.095.016.109

Tried this with Samsung C8000 (located in France) and it doesn't work. I get the outside of the US message.
 
Re: Netlix USA on UK equipment

is there any way to use this on ps3 since they blocked the dns method

I think these settings are just for the ipad.

Not sure Netflix have blocked the DNS method, but rather cache settings on your device.

So if the Netflix app has already been installed, you'll have to clear the app cache. You can do this in one of two ways:
  • Hold the start and select buttons whilst starting Netflix.
  • Or, if all else fails, remove and reinstall the app.
Also try the DNS settings and their "Gatekeeper" IP whitelister on tunlr.net: Get started with Playstation 3 | tunlr.net

However, please note, tunlr is going to a paid for platform after New Year. So it's only a stop gap.
