I finally decided to try Netflix, but i got a question. I'm currently watching a movie on Netflix through my Wii U, and the subtitles seems to have a 1-2 secs delay before appearing on screen after the guys on screen start to talk. Is that normal? Its bothering me a little, i'm used to seeing them instantly.

Some movies/shows have that. Usually something wrong on Netflix end that needs fixing.
And how do you change a movie from SD to HD? Mine is currently running in SD, despite the word "HD" being visible next to the title, and i see no option to changing it. Just the option to put subtitles. Then again, maybe its a Wii U thing...
Thanks by the way.
Depends on your connection/Netflix. You cant switch between them(if the movie isnt in hd, you are stuck with sd, if your connection blows, you will get sd).
I don't think Wii U is the best place for steaming Netflix. It was terrible on the Wii.

I have tons of problems streaming Netflix on my Wii, for what it's worth.

I had no issues streaming on the Wii when I had one. Watched plenty of movies and TV shows with it without issues or stuttering.

Is there any way I can sue Netflix or the studio responsible for Sherlock Holmes: Game of Shadows for losing two hours of my life to this complete travesty?

Copper is another good one I watched a while back.

It's fantastic. It's set just after the ripper murders in a time where people are afraid every new murder is the ripper yet again. It's pretty gory and delves into the nasty streets of London, with lots of twists and turns.

Anyone else having trouble getting Netflix to run in HD?
One episode, I'll have full HD with no problem. Next episode, the player refuses to buffer, even when I try to force it.

Working fine here on PC / Panasonic Plasma TV / PS3

I'm not a fan of that either. I have tried, unsuccessfully, two times to finish it...
I finished Orange is the New Black. Damn, it might be my favorite new show. Season one of it was on par with early seasons of other great cable shows I loved (Dexter, Weeds, True Blood, etc).
The Wii U handles wireless N. I've found it's streaming to be better than PS3 over WiFi. Wired the PS3 wins though.

Do we actually see her fucking? If so, this is at the top of my queue tonight.
Her appearance is depressingly short. Barely even a cameo.

BOOOOO!
It is still in my queue anyways because of James Gunn's involvement. But not as high a priority now.

UK Netflix recently got new BBC adaptions of 'Great Expectations' and 'Emma', both worth watching for Gillian Anderson and Romola Garai, respectively.
To be fair, this movie does have one of the most uncomfortable sex scenes in years.

Yes, it's a great show.

Hi guys – I just signed up for Unblock-us and have a couple of questions if anyone would be kind enough to help me with. I find their tutorials a little lacking in specifics:
1. Does changing the DNS settings via your router affect the speeds? I’ve been manually changing my DNS settings in via my 360 preferences and other devices. It would obviously be easier to have them changed in the router but I’d rather not if it will effect my speeds for gaming, downloading etc .
2. When I switch regions on the Ublock-us website, the DNS settings listed on their various device walkthrough pages seem to stay the same. Wouldn’t you need different DNS numbers to reflect the Netflix region that you’re wanting to access?
Thanks for helping out the technically challenged

1- Not that I have notice or know of.
2- Nope. Just change it once and switch between regions.

Cool! Just to clarify - I switch it on the website and keep my DNS settings the same on my router or devices? Thanks again!
Yeah, after you switched your DNS settings (or devices, if you go that route), you only have to go to the site, switch to what region you want to go to, and all the devices connected to that router, will switch region.
Edit- Use this site to look up what movies are available under what region. Just search, and if it is available, click the Netflix logo and it will tell you. If you are searching shows, make sure to click shows first.

Great - thanks for the link!
Thank you for bringing this up to day. I can finally watch the second movie. But I'm going to rewatch the series again before I watch the second movie... I really liked the series.
I knew there was a reason I was waiting to watch Shut Up And Play The Hits.
Nice to see another media DNS service. But why do they keep charging money. How expensive can it be to run DNS servers. All they're doing is resolving IP addresses. OpenDNS and Google DNS are free. I'm just hoping some altruistic reddit guy sets up a free media DNS service one day.

Maybe I'm missing something (probably), but I've posted at least 3 times in the past six months that if you just go to Google and search for us Netflix dns you get a ton of dns numbers you can use for free.
Not sure why people keep harping on about paying any money.

Don't you have to grab the DNS settings for every region? And when you want to switch region, you have to switch the DNS settings again?

Kind of. I do it on my Xbox though, so if I want to switch regions I just go to either automatic dns settings (Canada) or manual settings (us) which is always saved. Takes less than 20 seconds.
It is fine if you are switching between two regions, but not if you are using all of them like I do.
I would rather pay the $5 and switch with the click of two buttons, than to have to manually enter anything every time I want to switch. That's just me though.

Fig Newton! I can't shut off the subtitles on some Netflix movies from outside the U.S.

If it's available in a different region switch to that one. I had to end up using Finland when I watched to watch Seven because Brazil and Mexico both had hard subs.

So far I tried two regions with Minority Report and they both had subtitles with no option to turn off.
If you futs around with the subtitles settings you can get them to go away. I had the same issue.
If you change it to the native language, you get an option to remove the subtitles and at some point during the loading if you click back to english the no subtitles option stays. It's hard to get just right.

I do it because my family also uses Netflix, they aren't really that technically proficient, and I have 10 devices in my house that have a Netflix app/browser streaming capability. I can manage it all from a web page and have all the devices change region that I've modified the DNS settings on. It's worth the $5 in my instance because I can't be there 24/7 to help modify DNS for my family, and it's not in their interests to learn about DNS.

Im kind of blown away by how well Unblock-Us works extra cool that its a Canadian site too. Its so nice to be switching between regions on the fly and BIG thanks to GK86 for the help and the http://www.moreflicks.com/ link. So great to be able to peruse this on the iPad theres so many more choices!
The first and I think last(?) stories are the best ones. Both of them creeped me out. Skip the hotel one (the second story) as that is the worst of the bunch.
See You Next Wednesday

Can this work when watching netflix on Xbox 360 or PS3?
