Hey peeps,

So i finally cut the cord to DSTV :D. I got myself an Apple TV 3, and signed up for netflix and hulu plus, it is all working GREAT!!!

I followed this guid for getting plex to work: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FrXx0mrTNRk&index=3&list=PL3-aKebRWBPeeqmtEpr80f4HKoFUHZPem

That also works great... even though i just did a software update on my apple tv :D

My problem now is, for plex to work i need to set my Apple TV's DNS server to my HomeServer's IP, then i can watch content from plex, but then netflix and hulu is not working.

Currently my UnoTelly DNS settings sits on my Router, and if the Apple TV connects to the net, it thinks i am from the US. If i change my AppleTV dns to my homeserver, it no longer thinks so.

Maybe i do no know enough, but surely if my DNS is my HomeServer, and my homeserver connects through my Router to the net, then surely it must still think i am from the us?

Ideally i would like to only set my UnoTelly DNS on my Homeserver (remove it from router) and then set my apple tv's dns to my homeserver, that way, only tv and server routes internationally, and i can set my router to normal.

Will my "Ideal" setup work? will my router override my homeserver's dns? and how on earth do i do this, cause i tried it, and it did not seem to work :(

Any help would be awesome thanx :D
