    Thanks for that Sanity.

    I got Netflix going on a MK802 Android stick thingy. I've only watched a couple of episodes of How I Met Your Mother but it works surprisingly well.

    Default problem with apple TV

    Pics run fine. Yes, it's a goer

    The wdtv is a 500mhz device - the boxee is a 1200mhz divorce
    Can you help me with Apple TV set up?
    Followed the instructions and got it working on the iPad OK, but doesn't appear as a menu item on the apple TV. Do I need to download something, or add something to itunes?

    Did you change the itunes store to USA instead of Australia
    I found appletv netflix picture quality poor. Boxee and Roku and Samsung Bluray player give less Silverlight artifacts than Appletv. Maybe it get's routed through Apple's servers.

    Yeh, did that. It's a early apple tv, so that might be the issue.
    Netflix looks great on the iPad, and there's plenty of good stuff on it, so might invest in the Roku

    I see its also possible to jump from UK Netflix to US Netflix, just buy changing the DNS, but you keep the same account.
    As shown on YouTube guide.

    US Netflix on WDTV
    UK Netflix on PS3

    All DNS changes made locally at each box....

    Leaves laptop with fastest possible internet speeds, re page loading and latency

    Many other good and free options outside using unblock.us too

    Could you use the same technique to get the AFL International subscription package.

    Yep, works... its also mentioned on the second page of this thread.
    Blockless and many others too

    Some are free and dont really want you full time on their server, paid ones are happy you tunnel full time.

    I wasnt aware there was an AFL international subscription until you posted, so I did a bit of digging. The sadest part is that AFL was available via Roku, but the service was discontinued in July

    When I did go to the AFL international sub page, it showed my location as USA as I am using Unblock Us so yes you would be able to subscribe.

    Is this to the actual stream you are watching that is slow? If not then tunir has implemented measures to dratically slow browsing etc whilst using their DNS.

    I'm no expert, but dont you think its going to be slower browsing some sites whilst being tunnelled through and American Server instead of a local one????

    warbo posted a brilliant little program from Google that runs and trys 1000's of known DNS setting for your current connection, i used and it improved my 3G connection to being as good as proper ADSL in regards to browsing and ping times.
    But of course, those settings are no good for NF or Hulu, so you need to keep changing your settings to suit what u r doing....

    works for me.... and i'd expect it to be slower using a US dns, i have tried around 5 or 6 of them.... all make browsing slower, unless its a US site, then its about the same.

    Seems pretty obvious to me....

    Just set it up on my atv2. Great picture. Just one question I was toying around with a tv series and it just started at season one episode one, can you choose the episodes yourself.

    I might look at the other services later, thanks heaps sanity for this post.
