Looking into dns services and the set up on my ATV. Only unotelly says netflix forces public look ups on ATV, all the other dns services I have looked at do not mention it in their setup guides. As I am unable to do this on my RBI service, can a unotelly user tell me if this is actually the case.
thanks

Hi Guys,

Lew from dns4me support here.

We have been running lots of tests on the ATV4 over the last few weeks. There is no hard coding of any of the DNS servers you just need to set the desired DNS server IP (be it Unotelly or dns4me) into the network settings on the ATV.

The one issue with the ATV4 which may be confusing some people is that the home screen of the Netflix App gets cached. So if you have opened up NZ Netflix then changed your smart DNS to say the USA, you will still see the home screen for NZ Netflix. To get around this you either have to log out of Netflix or change your profile to clear the cache. Restarting or killing the App doesn't work as the cache remains intact. If you have plenty of time on your hands you can wait 1 day for the cache to expire 😂

This applies when changing to any Netflix region on the ATV4.
