KiwiTim: I have just started using Netflix on my Samsung Smart TV. Have to say I love it. My TV enabled me sign up for a UK Netflix account, which works well with Unotelly.
Does anybody know how to convert a UK Netflix account to a US account. I think there is more content available through the US. Makes Sky seem rather redundant (except for the sport).
freitasm: It's not really "illegal" to have Netflix. The hush hush is just so that Netflix, Hulu and other services don't go closing access to VPN services, etc.
My views (except when I am looking out their windows) are not those of my employer.

Pretty sure you do not need to convert your account, you just have to tell Unotelly that you want to be in the US (using UnblockUS this is as easy as choosing your region on their webpage, I am not sure about Unotelly). Netflix will realize you are in a different country and bring up that country's programming (as if you were on holiday with your device).

I'm sure they're aware of the way their service is being used, but enjoying the extra cash, while not directly promoting it's use to other countries.

The majority of non tech people expect watching stuff to be:
1. max of 2 buttons
2. work every time
3. all you can eat
4. one payment
JimmyH: Possibly they might, but it could be a foolish move on their part if they do.

I've often thought the same thing. You can be sure though that if the content owners\movie studios\etc get wind of it they will probably lean hard on netflix to stop it...
Foxtel is believed to have made representations to the US majors, and perhaps directly with Netflix, to try to deter Netflix from accepting Australian credit cards and thus limiting the number of local subscribers who can access the service.
A Foxtel spokesman told IF, “Netflix, like the US studios, has contractual arrangements in place which determine where its content can be screened. We expect Netflix to abide by those contractual arrangements in the territories where it has rights, just as we abide by our contractual arrangements.”

I'm sure they know about it. Foxtel think 100-150,000 people in Aussie use it. And they're a content *rights* holder, and I'm sure they've told everyone involved.
