Netflix ZA Live

Dianysis said:
So may I ask - if I use a vpn (PIA) would I be able to access Netflix in other regions? Or must one use UnoTelly?

Unotelly also does VPN (I think it's Unotelly Gold or maybe a separate sub. from them )
 
I didn't check all 17 pages...

Can we use the latest Netflix app from the Play store yet? I'm still using an older version that doesn't check my location. Or will the latest version of the app not let me swap between countries on Unotelly?

Let's get UnoTelly to support this region first ;)

Is it needed though?

I was able to connect to Netflix SA from my home PC with the DNS changed to UK and I connected and watched it fine. I'm sure there must be a restriction glitch atm not excluding non SA folk. Will probably sorted and patched in a day or 2.

Completely. I have never used Netflix before but when I signed up this morning I was very disappointed.

Immediately signed up for a UnoTelly trial and NOW Netflix looks awesome :)

You were watching UK content then.
The only way to watch SA content is with either disabling unotelly, or waiting for them to create an SA dynamo setting.

Nope was the SA one.

I used the .com/za link and it was SA content as far as I could see. (I might be wrong though)

I honestly can't recall. It was different though than the normal Netflix I'm watching atm though (The landing page). I'll double check when I get home.

O and btw, Unotelly has a rep here. We should just PM him and ask him to add SA. :p

The landing page and URL aren't really relevant. It's only when the content lists are presented that the regional filters are applied. Their philosophy is that no matter where you subscribed, you can watch content they have for your present location. So when you travel, you automatically get to watch whatever is presented in the country that you're in at the time. It's how unotelly gets round things - it just proxies your requests for the content library via the country you've set dynamo to.

I know how Netflix works, been using it for 2 years already :p

I just didn't check that closely though. Will make sure when I get home.

Dynamo has an option to switch off the region change just for Netflix... no need to completely disable Unotelly.

Nevermind, just double checked. Even with turning it off, you default to US Netflix.
 
Quick one, if I change my region on my Samsung Smart TV to get access to the Netflix app, will I still be able to use the Showmax app, I want both?
 
The Netflix app on my WD Live TV box sucks, the app on my Droid MX III Android box sucks and the app on my Samsung TV sucks. Cancelled trial.
