nate: So will Sky TV start banning Orcon ads too?

They should stop advertising :) Good competition for Online services.

If they make mention of it sure, iirc it was never a blanket ban on any of the TV networks but rather specifically the ad's referencing global mode.

Is it possible to change Netflix regions with Orcon's Global Mode just like you can with Unotelly?

Bugger. Will have to keep Unotelly for now as there is stuff I watch on the Canadian Netflix such as Suits. Will be good if this could be implemented at some stage.

Thanks for the speedy reply.

BBC iPlayer TV programmes are available to play in the UK only. Find out why.

If you are in the UK and see this message please read this advice.

iPlayer works for me too. SBS (Australia) On Demand is blocked.

Is there a list somewhere of the what is covered by Global Mode?

It only works if its on your Res account not your business accounts? or do you have a residential orcon account now too?
