How consistent is your Netflix?

I got the numbers from my Unotelly, put them in the Apple TV and is all good for a week or two. Then one day I get back, relax and see 'Not available'. Redo the numbers and it last another few weeks before the same thing.

Someone said it does that if the router goes down during the day?

Redo the numbers? - :wtf:

if You mean update your IP , well you need to to it once a month or if your router is off for an hour or so since your ISP will reset your IP address, unless you have a static IP
i haven'tneeded to update my IP in forever, I did this

thanks for the link... i'll try this later tonight and see how it works.

what you saying is if i setup according to the link i never have to update the ip manually, the router will do it for me automatically?

In theory and in my practice.
But every router is different

Is it possible that any of the DNS providers can be slower than another?

I'm not sure how DNS things work and was just wondering if there is much of a difference regarding speed between them.

Does anyone here have Netflix on Kodi (XBMC) ? - I found this article on lifehacker and I followed it thru but nothing ever loads and it keeps telling me I need to log in.. FML

If I can get this to work I'll be so happy. :)

There are free alternatives to Unotelly, but I reccomend that you start off with their free trial.
If you are using a Roku, you have to setup static routes in addition to the settings in these articles.
Some SA credit cards work, so you don't need to use Entropay.
