Did you set up unotelly on the PC or the router?

Have you followed these instructions? http://help.unotelly.com/support/solutions/articles/9481-setting-up-unodns-on-your-apple-tv

On the PC - would it be better to do it on the router? Yes I did those steps on the apple tv

Yeah better to do it on the router, that way all your devices running on the network will be masked.

Ok great. Will it always work if I do it on the router? The people I'm doing it for are a bit tech illiterate but use their devices a lot so it would be a bit of a crisis if their internet stopped working. Is there no-way I can just set up netflix to work on the apple tv without touching the router - based on the new netflix forced dns the answer appears to be no - you have to use the router.

Well I am no expert, but if your router is setup then all you would need to do is update your IP address when your internet is reset for whatever reason. I use the Unotelly app on my phone and you simply open it up and hit Update IP and done. There are ways to automate this but I think it requires different firmware for your router.

Is the Apple TV connecting to SA iTunes account ?

I think you need to both the vpn and the iTunes in the country which has the Netflix library you want to access
