My global mode has been working perfectly for the last couple of months, however it appears since the last Roku (or Netflix app) upgrade that I cannot connect to the Netflix servers anymore. (error code nw-2-4 and nw-4-8) :-(

Strange thing is that I can connect via my PC, but not tablet or Roku. Hulu still working fine on all devices...

I've decided to test using Unblock-US and appears everything and all devices work 100%... So it feels that Slingshot might need to update something at there end, but I just know it is going to be pretty darn hard to convince somebody to do so.

Anybody else experiencing this?

My detials:
Roku 3
Netflix (Canada region)
Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1

Same here, after the netflix app update global mode stopped working for app based devices (PS3 and Roku3). I'm using unblock in the meantime..

Same here, although netflix still works on WDTV live. I brought a roku 3 back from the states last week. If I go through unblockus it works again, but is painfully slow, and causes reloads every 20-30 seconds.

This is ok on the WDTV I think because it has enough memory to pause and preload some of the stream, but I assume the roku suffers from lack of memory.

IMO, I would stay away from the roku as its only real use in NZ is streaming from plex locally.

Netflix seems to be 'ok' through globalmode slingshot DNS on other devices - but I get really poor quality 288 SD through unblockus.
