Hi guys. First post so pardon my ignorance.

I currently have slingshot and I love the global mode. Have had net flix for a few months now and I have no problem streaming it on my PC and chromecast. I recently got a roku stick and after a bit of tinkering, I finally got it to work, sorta.

Plex YouTube and most channels work perfectly. But when I try to stream UFC fight pass, it says not available in your country. Even though it works on my iPad and PC.

It can log in to netflix, but it only works 1 in 20 times. Most of the time it says that the title I have selected is currently not available.

Is anyone here using a roku stick and watching netflix on it? Do you have the same problem or does it run smoothly?

Sometimes different devices call different DNS records that are not presently being captured by Global Mode.

If you or someone you know is wireshark-savvy, you'll be able to work out what DNS records are being called and pass on to the Slingshot team for consideration.

You could trial a service such as Unotelly.com - chances are they'll have "unblocked" this already.
