Default Netflix

For those who want a bit more from their Netflix try changing the DNS code on your computer,I use 162.243.65.31. It allows you to watch the American Netflix which has a bit more than the UK one but not everything that the UK one has.

I have a media box for my TV so its just a case of doing a manual setup of the wi-fi and changing just the DNS . You can Google it to help if your no good with a computer like me and you can find more American DNS codes which you will need anyway because I am told they change Evey few months or so.

I think this mite be in the wrong section but thought it could appeal to more here

New D.N.S code 213.5.182.117

You can also simply download an add on for chrome browser to do this - It's called Hola!

Which DNS is that as there are 2, you have to remember that each only lasts about 2/3 months as they are always changed to stop people from doing just this.

Here's the crack, you go to somewhere like
http://www.netflixfixer.com/2013/06/...s-netflix.html
They have a list of DNS servers to use, the top one right now is 109.123.111.24 Secondary: 192.95.16.109 which if you put the first one in a browser links to http://playmo.tv/ who offer a free trial, when that's over you'll need to sign up or find another number.

I think its the secondary one but not sure. You can just Google American DNS and you will be swamped with them.

This is how it looks on my screen when I do it.

I have a media box for my TV which basically turns it to a smart TV . Just in case you don't know of these things they are very good and cost £50 upwards. You can have Netflix/YouTube/I player and more on ANY modern TV (you need internet,of course)

Network Setup.

IP address. 192.168.1.64
Subnet mask. 255.255.255.0
Gateway. 192.168.1.254
DNS. 192.168.1.254

All I do is change the bottom number (DNS) to 162.243.65.31 and of I go.
It will change every few months but as said before you just need to Google a new one.

Not sure if it could be done by altering DNS entries on the router as on the above posts
