I think it is lip service. I guess the suplliers would want more money for world distribution over local. For netflix it does them no harm, but they have to be seen to combat it as I bet there is a lot of mobey at stake.

I wonder how effectively they can block proxies anyway. I use UnblockUS and i imagine they'll be working hard to get around it.
Bit more detail at The Register, apparently the answer is: "Evolving Proxy Detection as a Global Service”.

If the do find a way around Unblock-US, I'll be cancelling my subscription. The UK database is pretty poor.

Try Norwegian Netflix. Woeful compared to the UK version, even. Netflix spotted I'd done a DNS bypass and shut me down so I am stuck for the moment with local Netflix!

Their top man recently said they are cracking down on that kind of thing so I think it'll get more common.

I do hope technology keeps ahead of their efforts, or that regional issues are resolved!

I use UnBlock-US for VPN services to allow me to watch all regions Netflix. Last night I got the "We've detected you're using a proxy" (Or something to that effect) message when trying to watch something from the US Netflix.

I followed some instructions from a site (Cant remember which) which essentially had me sign out of Netflix on all devices, change my DNS back to normal, restart device, watch some of my region content then go back through the UnBlock-US setup and it worked fine afterwards.

I will happily cancel my Netflix sub if they crack down harder on VPN use. Their content is easily available through "other free means" but I do like being kinda above board by subscribing for content.

I appreciate in a bit late to the party but House of Cards is great.

The whole VPN thing makes the monkey in my brain start bashing his cymbals together, friends have advised me to tinker but I just can't be bothered.
Having said that, when I watch Netflix at work we get the French/Belgian service because of servers or something, there's not a great deal of difference.

I use Hola to get Canadian Netflix, inexplicably the Canadians have the best film choices.

This Pablo Escobar Del Patron Del Mal show is taking over my Life! It's hilariously cheesey at times, but I absolutely love it.

Indeed, it's almost Fast-Show-esque in it's cheesiness, especially the dramatic music they use and use and use.

I'm sure you know the one. It's kind of like a pre-programmed 'quick beat' from an 80s Casio keyboard hehe
