Netflix & Hulu+ On Xbox/PS in South Africa

[Cicero]

SO since the region migrate tool, I migrated over to a UK XBL account and downloaded netflix. I was then trying to work out how some guys manage to get around the region block for SA. Here's how I've got it to work on Xbox:

First you need Netflix on your Xbox. I had to migrate my region from SA to UK so I could download it, see this http://zombiegamer.co.za/xbox-live-r...-tool-now-live

Then to get around them knowing where exactly you live, sign up for an 8 Day trial for Unotelly (http://unotelly.com/unodns/signup Basically a DNS Service thats tricks the services into thinking you in the US)

You can get a 30 Day FREE netflix Trial and Hulu+ Offers a 7 Day trial. So you can always try it for free regardless.

Unotelly provides pretty great step by step instructions and setup tutorials.

Costs after the trial periods:
Unotelly = $4 per month
Netflix = $7.99 a month, you get unlimited movies & TV episodes
Hulu+ = $7.99 a month, you get unlimited movies & TV episodes

I'm currently on a 2mbps line and its a bit fussy, but any episodes get pretty clear after a few minutes. I'm sure a 4mbps line would be awesome!

You should be able to do the same thing to get Netflix on PS3 or PC

Yip, PC or PS3 too. There are also some free DNS services, not sure how well they work though.

As for PC, I discovered this little plugin http://hola.org/unblocker.html. This lets you use services like Netflix and Hulu with out the need to VPN.

Going to try it out tonight and will report back.

How did this work? Did you perhaps try the android version aswell?

It's working wonderfully using Chrome on my PC, I haven't had a chance to test it on my phone yet.

Just keep in mind Unotelly is $7.95 a month if you don't pay for 12 months in advance (paying 12 months in advance gets you the $4 price)

The cool thing about these DNS-based VPN's is that you can setup your ADSL Router with the DNS and enable ALL your devices on your network with it at once
