Correct netflix accounts work in every region the cataloger you are shown is based on IP address which unblock-us etc will hide/change

I've just been through all this. You do actually have to do some setup things in Unotelly itself, its not quite all magic!

Delete cookies?! Are you insane?!

Grab the istreamguide app (free on Android, paid on iOS), you can search all Netflix titles and easily see which region/s have said program

Norway/Belgium/Switzerland seem to have a surprisingly good amount of program not available in US Netflix

Once you're up and running, go into the "Dynamo" page on Unotelly (accessed from a tile on their QuickStart page) and scroll through the options. That's where you choose which regions you see for different applications or devices. Option 1 is Netflix region. I think it defaults to USA but if you want to try Canada, for example, you can make the change there (you might need to restart your telly for the change to take effect). Then scroll through the other sections and decide for each which set of channels you want to unlock. Some of them are device specific and don't need to be touched. Any that don't apply to you, just leave as is. If all you want is US Netflix, then you probably don't need to touch a thing. I had to make a few tweaks to get 7Plus and ABC in Australia working. Happy viewing!

I also find lemontv.co.nz (by Geekzone member Killerkiwi2005) is good for finding titles you're after because you can include not only all Netflix regions, but also BBC, Neon, Lightbox etc. to the search. Netflix don't have everything available, unfortunately.

People often mistake me for an adult because of my age.

Keep calm, and carry on posting.

Update:
Super easy to do, signed up to unotelly selected usa on the Dynamo page the add the DNS to the tv and I was watching US Netflix

Worth giving it a go since both Netflix and unotelly offers free trails

Thanks for all the help guys
