OK, thanks for this, I am going to give it a go tonight.

Edit - sorry to ask such a technologically retarded question but it isn't clear from their website... Do I have to pay a sub for each device? I have an LG Smart TV in my living room and a Roku Box and Apple TV in my bedroom and I'd like it available in both rooms.

No, the region will change on whatever device you have configured to run through their DNS. Not sure if it works with Roku (at least I don't think it used to), but not had a problem with any other device. I'm running PS3, PS4, iPad, Samsung and Panasonic Smart TVs and they all work fine.

Thought I'd run out of stuff to watch.

Just started Marco Polo. Seems good.

Sorry to keep hijacking the thread with unblock-us questions, but how do I change regions on my iPad? I want to access Swedish Netflix but I can't figure out how to do it through the Netflix app.

So long as you have the correct DNS settings in the iPad, you should just be able to change regions from the unblock us website. Make sure you exit the Netflix app and restart it for the regions to actually change, same goes for any device.

Thanks John, I hadn't realised you had to click "log in" to change regions.

Last night watched "Hiroshima" which was pretty harrowing. Strange to think that those extreeme events occured only 70 years ago.

Bomb Patrol Afghanistan. It's a series following US navy bomb disposal teams over there.

It's American so it's a bit different to the British military documentaries I've seen. However, it's worth a watch for all of the explosions.
Just watched the first one, very good, as above a little different to "our" documentaries but enjoyable

And it's where they build the PH hero that is the MX5.

Found "20 feet from Stardom" on Netflix US last night. Meet the unsung heroes behind the greatest music of our time.

If you enjoy music then you'll probably enjoy this.

Yep, it's good. Just started watching Welcome to Sweden on it which seems promising. And if you search for Vänner, you'll discover every episode of Friends smile

There are quite a few BBC documentaries on US Netflix. Watched one about Captain Eric Brown the other day. What a life! Extraordinary!

Can't be bothered to check back all through this thread but just finished House of Cards.

Absolutely brilliant. Different from the UK version ( which is also superb) but if you enjoy political dramas then this is a must!

can't wait for Feburary when series 3 starts.

Anyone who enjoyed House of Cards might want to try The Boss. It stars Kelsey Grammer and Connie Nielson, and is on US (or was it UK?) Netflix.
