Default Decent TV ap? Netflix isn't good enough..

I've had Netflix for a while, but find their choice to be be really lacking.

What alternatives would you recommend? Ideally an ap for my TV as I'm lazy

Mainly after box sets and some half current films.

I remember reading somewhere there is a way you can change Netflix UK to US version. Much better selection.

Look into one of the Kodi boxes that are about. Probably wont be about forever, so enjoy it while you can.

in my view having tried most of the alternatives for a period of time, Plex (currently my preferred solution), Kodi, OpenElec are the best of the bunch.

I run Plex as a media server which enables me to stream media to anywhere whether at home or not.

Have a look at http://www.unblock-us.com
I'll allow you to change the region for Netflix, which can be very useful indeed.

can you add any of the apps you can get under KODI? or Kodi itself? that will open up the whole film / tv world.

I found plex to be linited - and on some systems its a premium service..

I use Serviio, installed as an app on my NAS to stream my stuff
