I am signed up with UnoTelly and Unolocal (trial)

UnoTelly and Unolocal DNS both work fine on my Apple TV and on my desktop PC. 

Gets a bit hard when I try to make things go on an Android "box" (actually a Digitus TV dongle). Changing the DNS is not hard - I've tried both. First I tried the UnoTelly one - fired up netflix.com and logged myself in - it knew what I had been watching etc so that was all OK.  Then I picked a movie to watch - it told me I needed to load an app - when I clicked on that it told me the app was not available for my country ....  to be fair I was using a UK Unotelly DNS and the login came up as Netflix/login?location=en-UK ...

So I tries the Unolocal pair. This time it's real strange - when I get as far as picking a movie it sometimes get to the "load app" screen, but always falls over with a "site not available" message that is about 200 chars long ...... And there it stops.

Anybody?

For the app you need to make a US google play account to download the netflix app or sidled the apk from another source if the play store isn't available.

Get the Amazon App Store on your device and download Netflix, Hulu from there.

Worked a treat.

I did have to move my Amazon entity to the US, but that's getting a bit old hat now.

So convenient that Amazon lets you tell them when you move countries :-)
