Watch Netflix in Trinidad on PS3,PC, XBOX 360, etc.
« on: January 09, 2011, 12:51:52 PM »
I should have written this guide a while now but was waiting till I used it for a while to confirm that it works good. Note the method outlined here is not free but it is the best method out of all I've tried.

There are two problems with using Netflix in Trinidad
 1. Ip address checking for region
 2. Netflix payment wants a US issued credit card

1. There is a site http://unblock-us.com. This site was made to allow Canadians use the American Netflix but it works for other countries as well. This is what I use to bypass the ip address checking. They offer a 1 week trial so you can try it out and decide for yourself if it is worth it. It normally cost US5.99 a month. To use it you change your DNS to 208.122.23.22, 208.122.23.23.

This is a lot better than running your system through a vpn because most vpns are slow or very costly and route ALL your traffic through the vpn. This means if you want to game online you have to change back your settings.

This method by just changing your DNS means everything on your network works as normal, when you go to netflix, their DNS reroutes it to their server, initializes the connection and then transfers back to Netflix's servers. This allows it to stream as fast as a native Netflix connection as I've been able to view HD streams without stutter (something I cant even do on youtube 480p sometimes) on a 5Mbit connection.

This works on PS3 and Xbox 360 as well and I dont see why it wont work on Wii too. The only small issue with viewing it on one of these devices is the service works by your ip address. Most of us have a dynamic ip address that changes once a week or once a month (maybe longer). If it does change all you do is go on your PC login and it will map your account to your new ip address.

2. Netflix payment. Netflix wants an American issued credit card. Unblock-us lists a method for bypassing this using ENTROPAY. I didn't use their method but have used Entropay before for use with the PSN.
What I did was sign up for the Netflix trial and used my paypal account as payment type. This worked fine until my 1 month Netflix trial was up and they told me my paypal was not a valid payment option. I then used my local credit card and just used the zipcode of my skybox and miraculously it WORKED!!.

I really love Netflix and considering if it makes sense for me to still pay for a cable bill. This service also works for VUDU, Amazon Instant Video, Playstation Video Store and Hulu on PC. It cannot work for Hulu Plus because Hulu will not accept entropay and will not accept a credit card issued outside the US.

There are a lot more instructions on the website.

Interesting.

I currently don't have cable, but I was actually going to apply for it in March.

I will certainly test this out.  If it works well, I may not even bother with cable.

Brilliant brilliant briliant linkage Eroo

We could probably use this to encourage more console purchasing and stuff too.

@Eroo. Excellent, tested and works. Screw you regional restrictions :D.

One issue, not getting HD video at all. Video quality hovers between Low and High SD quality.
Have you noticed if it's a congestion based thing in relation to peak hours?
Or does it "eventually" stream at HD when playing the movie for a while, that is, when the internet connection speed increases high enough to stream HD.

Or is it the trial at usvideo.ca limiting bandwidth? Does the paid subscription give you HD?

Thanks much for the post Eroo.

Tested it with Hulu, and it works like a charm.

Now THIS service I would pay for.


Hot DAMN Eroo...I think you might have just saved me some money.
Now to sign up for some Netflix.


I am now considering building a small HTPC to attach exclusively to my TV.  :)

+10 from me too.

Not all netflix movies are HD and you cant search by HD on the ps3. Search for some HD movies using the pc version and then try those movies on the PS3 and see if you can get them in HD. I was watching Mortal Kombat in High/HD) just this morning.

I just tested it out. The movie quality increases from Low SD to High HD over time (2mins or so). It simply takes a while to adjust to line quality.
So yep, HD is working fine.
Thanks again for the post Eroo!

Anybody able to access the PlayStation "Video" Store? (Open Playstation Store and there should be a button at the top that switches the store to the movie store).
This should work for anyone with a US account. Doesn't work for me but it supposed to work :/

Those with US PlayStation accounts, download "VUDU" from the PlayStation Store.
It's a premium service where you pay for each rental from $2usd (older catalogue) to $6usd for day one Blu-Ray release rentals.
You get $5.99usd free to use upon starting VUDU.
In terms of content, service and quality, VUDU blows Netflix out of the water imo. Very pricey though. Video immediately starts streaming at 1080p, they have 3D movies on there as well. There's also a section with upcoming movie trailers in 1080p. Nice stuff.

As for actually paying for stuff with VUDU, not sure if Entropay or local credit cards would work. I'll give it a shot when I subscribe to Netflix with entropay.

DNS is meant to be used by more than one person... see www.opendns.com although that wouldn't apply in this case :P

For movie and tv show watching you all can use this software found here:

www.hotspotshield.com

And load up www.hulu.com and register i think and u can stream all ur crap to ur pc. :P

Basically this software allows you to view content that not allowed down here, us based sites only nah.

Used it last year to watch some nice movies and Tv shows.

Hulu blocked hotspot some time ago, unless they found some way around it.

WRT Netflix

This is a godsend, when I saw the Canadian guide on Reddit just before Christmas I never thought it would work. Kudos for trying it.
