Do you need a Netflix UK account as well? Or does it share the same login?

Unotelly allows you to change your region. For example, I am currently on US. I serached for a movie called Chasing Mavericks and its said NOT AVAILABLE.

search here and you can see that it IS available, just on the Canada region. I switched my region on Unotelly, updated my IP and BOOM... 1 min later I was watching

:D

Just to add, this is all with one Netflix account which is awesome.

With the same Netflix logon then, I take it. That's absolutely awesome. Thanks for the tip :)

So... what would be the best region to have Unotelly set on?

It's seriously easy to change regions though, just add the unotelly dynamo as a bookmark on your phone and browse over there and change it when you feel like switching... it is instant.
 
Hulu keeps buffering on my Samsung smart TV. I'm not sure if the problem is the Samsung app of something else :(
I have the speed setting in Hulu set at 650 and it still freezes. I have a 4Mbps line that runs full speed all day.

Netflix runs perfectly on my line.

HI , I also struggle with hulu, but not netflix. on side note found on the android apps tore jetflix, downloaded this for 3 day trail and believe this is not to bad combining the best of netflix and hulu.
 
One thing I've been wondering about - if you're signed up to US Netflix with a US zip code (I think 90% of us use 90210 as the zip to sign up with :P), aren't they wondering wtf you're up to if you use that same account to connect from 5 different regions? Added to the fact that you're obviously connecting via UnoTelly on top of all that. Or is it more a case of they know, but they don't care - as long as they get their money?

Guess they have to pretend to care though, as per their licensing agreements with their content providers. I wonder....

Easiest way is to think of the Roku as the same as an AppleTV, but minus the iTunes store and AirPlay but plus Amazon Instant Video.

And a remote that does not require line of site. Huge plus for me.
Roku in my game/movie room is on the component shelf at the back and the Roku for the bedroom is on the same shelf (IE: different room).

You don't have Airplay but you can push content via DLNA which is more open than Airplay.

I've had a Netflix account for a few months now, and I couldn't possibly live without it anymore :) When I signed up for Netflix back in June, I also checked out Hulu (after hearing they're more up to date with series) but found it to be absolute rubbish for the most part. Yes, they were more up to date with series, but missed tons of episodes inbetween, and a LOT of their shows were "web-only" and I couldn't stream it to my TV via the PS3.

With Christmas season coming up, I'm considering getting Hulu in addition to Netflix, but I need to know... is it still like that? Basically - is Hulu worth it, and why would you say so?

I dont download much: i use Hulu+
 
Just to get back to web only series on Hulu+. I have 22 favourites loaded and 10 of those are web only:

Haven
How I Met Your Mother
Warehouse 13
Siberia
Suits
Hannibal
Defiance
Continuum
Bates Motel
Anger Management

Also some serious multitasking skills, considering I'm watching from the US and the UK at the same time (multiple users per household) :P
 
How much does a hulu or netflix subscription cost?

Can I get shows like "binnelanders" on either?

I went to the netflix site and it says that it is not available in my country...

Would my 2meg uncapped line suffice?

You won't find Binnelanders on Hulu or Netflix.

Netflix and Hulu+ are both $8 a month.

To watch Netflix and Hulu is South Africa you need to sign up to Unotelly for $5. This will make Netflix think you live in the United States.
