I just tried Unblock Us and it works great, but why pay for it when you just have to enter their DNS settings?
Am i missing something here?

so if you want to use unblockus you will want a static ip address, otherwise you will have to keep going to unblock-us.com and revalidating your ip address each time you get disconnected. otherwise all requests to netflix/hulu/etc are redirected to unblock-us.com.

With Unblock-US, does this mean that Netflix on an AppleTV will work?
I am looking for a new way to consume content (rather than ripping DVD or BD to MKV and storing on HDD and playing back via WDTV Live)
What are the other side effects of using Unblock-us? will it affect general browsing etc.?

Yes Netflix will work on a apple tv as long as you set the apple store to US. You can enter the unblock dns server into the apple tv and leave the rest of your stuff using your isp's dns if you want to.

Oh cool.
I'd only need it on one device. Is it a biggie to change apple store to US? and, finally, would I need a US credit card to pay for Netflix?
