Have you noticed you can watch the network currently without your vpn turned on?? uk lock was turned off a few hours ago apparently??

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
 

Tbh mate i've given up on WWE completely my sub expires just after Survivor series and i have no intention of continuing it, my vpn is always on as it runs in my router as it comes in use when i switch netflix or amazon instant video regions (for amazon you do need a uk and a seperate usa prime membership) as before i got a vpn router i was forever forgetting to switch my vpn on then cussing at my pc when in fact it was my fault haha, i do use a smart dns too as a backup.

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
 

I use a Chrome cast to access Netflix on my tv but if I use a VPN to get the US content I cannot cast the screen , the icon to select my tv or other device is gone ,is there any way around this ?

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
 

You need a router you can set up a vpn on or a router you can change dns settings and use a smart dns service such as unblock-us.
This is why i went for the firetv as you can change dns settings on that, you can on appletv and androidtv too.

Cheers mate ,that answered that then :) i'm using a sky hub so not possible then ?

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
 

No Sky lockdown their routers they also lockdown their network too preventing you from using your own router, you could try popping to currys or maplin pick up a cheap router tplink allow dns changes and connect that router via ethernet to your skyhub and use your new router for chromecast ect.
I know a few people who do this with various networks i did it with my plusnet router it works fine.

Challenging question regarding the 6 months free deal with Virgin.

I already had the 1 month free Netflix while Virgin messed about sending me the email with the 6 month code on it.
I never got the email but the code they told me over the phone I then added to my account and it added a credit of £35.94.
I had activated option 2 out of the 3 choices as that is the cheapest with HD at £6.99 a month.
So based on that the £35.94 added by applying the Virgin code will only last me 5 months if I remain on the HD option.

Is this correct?
Is this how it will work or is it a true 6 months so I can stay on the option I have chosen to get HD and get my 6 months I thought I was getting.
Otherwise to get 6 months I have to change my option down to option 1 and get the SD only package?

Anyone know please?
Thanks

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
 

It's a money credit so it will not last 6 months at your charge rate of £6.99 per month.

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
 

Thanks.
Seems a bit of a con when the advert says watch Netflix in HD etc.
I suppose they don't say we are giving it you for 6 months in HD quality though.
