I have decided to try and set up US Netflix account and hope people can answer a couple of questions for me so that I know what I am doing and don't stuff anything up!

Firstly I have an Apple TV and have changed the DNS settings (to unblock-us) in that so that Netflix now shows up and it thinks I am in the US.  All good there except that when I then try and login that way, it uses my iTunes account which then reverts me back to the NZ store and takes Netflix off.  So now I realise that I need to create a US Netflix account on my Macbook.  So then it seems that I need to change the DNS settings on there.  What I want to know is how reversible that process is.  When I go in to change the DNS settings they are grey which I have discovered means they are router settings.  If I change these does that mean that I am changing them on the actual router or just on the Macbook?  I am hoping it is just the Macbook.  It seems easy enough to remove them afterwards and reboot both the router and Macbook.  Does anyone know if that is correct?  

Also once I have created the US account do I need to keep the US or change I change them back and then just keep them to unblock-us on the Apple TV and everything will work successfully?

Many thanks for any help.

If you enter them manually on the MacBook, it is just overriding the (grey) router supplied ones on the Macbook itself - just delete them to remove.

You don't need to reboot either the Macbook or router - they apply as soon as you save them

Wonderful thank you. Just want to know how likely it is that I'll break something!
