I thought tunlr.net had killed netflix access due to it being just too popular for a free service? Interesting if you're still using it Mod? When was the last time you tried logging in via Tunlr settings? 

I'd switched over to the dns settings for Playmo (Preferred DNS server: 190.14.36.90 Alternate DNS server: 109.123.111.24)  
They want you to pay for the access (~£3/mnth setup at Playmo.com) but it appears you can just stick the DNS in and slip through for now. 

You can also pay a bit per month for UnBlockUS (Preferred DNS server 208.122.23.22
Alternate DNS server 208.122.23.23)  
and get a much better access. If you use a browser to access via them after paying you can then choose your location (Brazil, Canada, US, Scandy etc) as all areas have different licensing deals with the studios. Lots of good stuff on South America and Canada if you're prepared to pay by all accounts. 

Having said all that it seems that as of the last few days everyone has noticed that they're getting the node failure location message regularly. Apparently you can eventually get it to play if you keep pressing for your content. Folks were saying that they had to switch off the xbox entirely and reboot instead of just going from one episode to the next. (I was watching some Walking Dead and noticed this; one episode seemed ok but kinecting through to 'next episode' would cough up the message)
It seems that the recent Amazon hosting explosion that killed most of the internet is being blamed ultimately. It destroyed all sorts of stuff in Yankland (Reddit, Github, Minecraft etc) and the Netflix dns fluffing appears to have gone too. 
Keep trying seems to be the advice.

Canadians have been doing this dns stuff since pretty much day 1 so it seems unlikely that they're clamping down. Internet gremlins more likely for now.

Who do you use for DNS? http://tunlr.net/ I've found the most reliable, but I have lost connection 2 ish times since using it, but they've fixed it their end within a day or so. Don't know why it's asking you to sign in again, maybe to do with the new Dashboard, or maybe you hit the three devices at once limit? Why can't you just ask your haousemate for the password?

He was at band practice, so no phone answering. tried that unblock us, seemd to be working

Oddly i still don't have the new dash.

I got Netflix, so far not one thing I've searched for has been on it. Watching twin peaks again is keeping me entertained so far though.

Is Hyde here abouts yet? Anyone know his member login? He was after a bit of Netflix info.

He'll be a lurking if you want to post for his eyes, don't think he's registered, otherwise PM him on Live.

IS there a place that aggregates all Netflix content in an easy to use site so I can see whats available outside of their godawful interface?

The Win8 app does that, but that's probably not the answer you were looking for sorry.

Really?

I may look into that. I might upgrade to Win 8 over the weekend. I found an upgrade version for $25.

I've asked you about this before, but does it only send media content via its server?

Yes.

It's actually really clever. No idea how it works.

But when I go to iplayer, it switches to a UK ip and when I go to Netflix it goes to US.


Also, Windows 8

That's very clever, and as long as it only does media I'll finally use it I think.  I wonder if it works via the 360 as well?

Should do. I dont see why not.

I have it set up on individual devices, but theres a tutorial to have it set up on the router so EVERY device that attaches has the different IP abilities.

Bookmarked, Isan.

thanks.

Ima put this in here re: Now TV powered by Sky. The fuck you are worth 15 notes a month, you're not worth the £8.99 after the trial ends, you're barely worth the freeness you are for thirty days. I'm using you to get 2400 MSP for £8.99 and then you are gone like Cheech and Chong. Is this some sort of cut back sample shit until I start paying for deals, do I want to watch 'Bond's Magic Moments' for monies? Another turgid 360 film app without an add to personal playlist... Gah.

Sky Movies is a terrible waste of money. I have had it for 6 months because I got an offer which was £12 a month for all Sky Sports and Movies.
Only wanted the Sports and £12 weren't bad. £15 a month you would be better off with literally any other movie based thing, be it Netflix, Lovefilm or even a cinema pass.

You should have built a mystical church with us instead.

@fullspectrum do you want a 2 month free lovefim voucher thing to tide you over?

Using somewhere like More Flicks makes it less wearisome in a way. 
Pay UnblockUS to allow you to change to any region, Uncheck Hulu on Moreflicks and start looking around the world for a decent hit. Always worth a punt…

Indeed. You can sign up to Hulu with something like UNblockUS but you'd have to pay for that too. Hulu isn't free is it?

Edit: Seems to be another 8 bucks a month for Hulu Plus. Might have some kind of free normal Hulu thing too though? Not too sure of their breath of content but they do report as "Hulu is a joint venture of NBCUniversal Television Group (Comcast/General Electric),[10] Fox Broadcasting Company (News Corp) and Disney-ABC Television Group (The Walt Disney Company)" on Wiki so could have quite a bit of different bits I guess?
