I am in the US. This worked like a charm for accessing Netflix UK. But how safe is this? Hola Unblocker FAQ sounds scary lol
I've seen hola itself recommended before so I believe it's safe. The one thing I've read is don't input card information, buy anything, or do anything important with the DNS on. So as long as you turn it off after you're done watching it should be good. With that said just tried it myself and worked perfectly. Watched Sherlock Holmes: Game of Shadows in HD from Sweden Netflix.
edit:And now I'm watching Kung Fu Panda 2 on Canadian Netflix, I could get used to this.

That's what I mean. Sooner or later content holders are gonna make Netflix lock accounts to a region in some form.
That's kind of harder to do with mobile devices. If you go somewhere else with your device, you're technically in that region, not the one your account is locked to. MLB.TV allows you to stream games that you would normally be blacked out from if you're not in the blackout area anymore, and that is state to state usually.
Also a new Netflix original show is out...
Mako Mermaids: An H2O Adventure
This sequel to "H2O: Just Add Water" follows a boy named Zac who turns into a merman after falling into a magical Pool. Zac's new powers could spell trouble for the three young mermaids who guard Mako Island. More episodes beginning in September.

That mermaid show is some Australian TV show, not a Netflix original. The only reason I know is cuz my daughter watches it. LOL

Are you watching the new one? I just started that, only about 3 or some eps in. Not sure how i feel about it yet, but it keeps me interested enough to go back

If you're watching the "first" season...The one with The Ninth Doctor and Rose-most people like myself will tell you the first half of that season hasn't aged well, and can be kind of corny and hokey-some people are turned off by that. I can assure you though that if you stick with it, at least til season's end, you'll really be hooked. In my opinion the show really hits it's stride in the Fifth Season, but there are tons of great episodes and moments in 1-4. In that first half of the season, the show was "production-wise" still finding it's voice. The Slitheen episodes in particular are embarrassingly bad. The director of those episodes apparently took some liberties with the script and made it more silly than it was intended to be-and he subsequently was not asked back.
Yeah, watching the reboot one. The cgi is a little rough around the edges, but other than that I have enjoyed the first two episodes. I think the part that hooked me was when they were
talking about the myth of the Doctor. And how he was around in past events.

They don't work as good maybe?, i haven't tried them... but i've heard about buffering issues...
How about reliability? You know a DNS could change your banksite url to a whole different server and mine your login keys, right? I'd rather pay 5 dollars, which is nothing for me, for a reliable company's services than from some random Google hit.

Started It's Always Sunny... the other day and I'm almost done with the second season now, I'm liking it a lot. The characters are such terrible people, kinda reminds me of Seinfeld in that way
They only get worse .like they really are terrible people lol

I use them on both my Xbox and my ps3 and I get HD within a few seconds every time. With the Ps3 as I can actually check what my rate is, I get super HD which is the highest available right now.
Edit: I get why people pay, it makes sense, but for the people that dont want to pay there's always alternatives.

:lol not really
UK is shit. US is likely the best.
Nope. Sweden is number one. Followed by Mexico/Canada.

I'm not sure if I like this Max thing or not. It's sort of recommending some OK movies, but they're all very safe bets. It did a totally random one this morning, which I liked - Louie the TV series.

Quantity wise maybe but I was seeing a lot of newer titles. Stuff that would require a separate HBO subscription in the US. I didn't look at all of the different regions yet but both UK and Ca already had a bunch of movies I can't watch in the US.
I guess its subjective though

I would suggest that you stop and watch it on DVD/Blu-ray instead. BBC stuff looks horrible on Netflix.

So do I, doesn't mean you have to swallow when Netflix occasionally craps in your mouth.I pay for Netflix to avoid buying DVD/BR's.
Just got a push notification on my phone, that Hell on Wheels is now available(on US stream). Watch it if you haven't.
Edit-
Just isn't a big enough deal to me to shell out $80+ for ONE season.

Sweet, both seasons....been waiting on Season 2 to start that show.
Just watched "The House of the Devil." Boring first 40 minutes or so, good last half or so. There is such a slow pace to the film that I had to jump forward twice to see if anything good was going to happen. I know what the director was going for with the atmosphere, but a lot of the scenes are unnecessary. Like a music montage? I can't remember if I have ever seen one in a horror movie.
Half the movie is spent
There, I just saved you 50 minutes of your life. Jump to that mark and you will have a good, short horror movie.
Half the movie is spent
doing or talking about nothing, touring a house, and jumping at her own shadows.

I watched The Apparition over the weekend.
It was average. I've seen much better and much worse movies in the genre. I spent most of my time

I feel the opposite. It's interesting until the last 20 minutes or so and becomes like any other horror movie. It feels so ominous and creepy, then gets intense and just devolves when
she wakes up and the ritual/ceremony begins.

Watched this last night - really great movie. Fantastic acting from all three actresses, and a great performance by Ed Harris as well (although he isn't in many scenes). It's a pastiche of three separate stories that are indirectly connected through time, all centered around Virginia Woolf's novel Mrs. Dalloway. Really well made movie with fantastic dialogue and acting, and a very intelligent plot that kept me hooked all the way through.
I like movies like this that have a literary bent to them. If anyone has any suggestions of similar movies I'd love to hear them.
River Of No Return was good if you haven't watched that.
Most are quite pricey, this is what I found. http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00BYUGN74/ sold by richer sounds, which should be fine.
I thought youview could work, but apparently a netflix app never came out. That freeview above should be fine though.
Yeah that was good for sure.
It kinda surprised me actually, had never heard of the River of No Return wilderness area and thought it was about an actual river.....was surprised to get a couple following wolves in an untouched wilderness area.
Nature docs have been my go-to for relaxing background television. I'll still throw on something I've watched before if I just want something on.
