Netflix still coming through fine (Bigpipe, ADSL, both Chromecast, android + browser + UnoTelly). Interestingly enough BBC iplayer has stopped working on Chromecast with following settings (still works on android/browser) - so I suspect the iplayer chromecast urls have also been impacted (iplayer was working last night with these settings). I'll run some dns traces tonight once kids are in bed, coz I can live without Netflix but not without my iplayer fix ;-)
So I tried logging in again. Still no luck getting Netflix US service to work during Vodafone unlimited broadband and unblock-us. Switched my country to UK on unblock-us and Netflix works fine. It's a little frustrating..
Hi, Anyone had any luck with this yet? I seem to be getting the same problem, I can browse Netflix fine but when I got to play something at about 50% it gives me the error 8012... I use Firefox with media hint My account is US and has my US credit card (I live in the US 1/2 the year) Any help would be great!

I just signed up to Netflix and Unblock-Us last night, unaware of this issue, funny that.
As of tonight: -Netflix works fine with Unblock-Us set to UK region. -Netflix has worked a few times with Unblock-Us set to the US, but now is no longer playing anything more than the first 20secs of a clip.
This is on my MacBook Pro running Mavericks.
Haven't tested the Netflix app on my iPhone 5s or Apple TV 2 with it set to US, but they also work fine on UK region.
Also, on a side note, I really loathe silverlight. It's slow and forces my MBP to switch from Integrated to Dedicated graphics, which kills my battery life. I really think Netflix should switch to HTML5, but again, unrelated to this issue :P
EDIT: Forgot to mention, this is on Vodafone ADSL2 150GB plan. 5Mbps down 0.9Mbps up.
I tried again using unotelly dns settings Primary dns NZ, secondary dns Aus. Same fault with iPad and USA Netflix, spinning wheel and movies won't load.
I setup a trial account over at https://getflix.com.au/setup/overview Set the region for USA Netflix and bingo all content now loads and plays on iPad.
My setup ISP - Slingshot ADSL I've left the global mode setting from within slingshot as default.

Hope this helps someone else.
I'm on Telecom VDSL2 unlimited, and it wasn't working beforehand, and I can confirm that the getflix method appears to work, seems to have eliminated the problem.
EDIT:While this seems to have gotten rid of the error, it makes some the videos unplayable, after like 20 seconds, and some videos show the same old error.
So I decided to try Unotelly again, put the DNS IP's in but the Unotelly site says that my DNS isn't setup correctly (even waiting 5 odd minutes). So thought I'd try Netflix USA and wow, no buffering, and movies/TV seem to be back to normal.

Under Netflix "profile settings > your account > playback settings" you can select "Prefer HTML5 player instead of sliverlight".
Whether or what effect this would have in your case, I don't know, but I have mine set to HTML5.
