Don't suppose you can change the DNS on Tivo? If you can't then it's of no use to me as the UK Netflix hardly has any content.

That is not the case anymore. About 2 weeks ago I logged into UK Netflix and it was almost like it was a different service. I have used both UK and US Netflix in the past

That's not really true these days.


And there is no reason why Tivo can't be used for UK content and your current Netflix devices for other regions.

Netflix offers 1080p streaming. Just checked my Tivo and it says that 1080p/25 is not suppored. Does anyone know if Tivo will be updated to allow 1080p?

I'm not sure what frame rate UK Netflix is but on the US site, most content, including US TV is 24fps.

VM's service just keeps getting better and better. This will go down great in our house.

I'm sorry but yes it is, The US Netflix has way more content than the UK one even now. Sure the UK one has bulked up a bit since it's launch but it still lagging way behind. My devices spend most of their time with the unblock.us DNS in them because of it.

I wouldn't use 2 devices for the 2 regions, i want less boxes under the TV not more :p:

Then just do not use the Netflix app on Tivo then and do not worry about the millions of potential Netflix customers on Tivo who may be happy with what is on offer ;)

If you already have a device fr Netfix, which you obviusly have as you access it already, then for those who already ave a Tivo, you are not adding a new box

Jeez, it was a serious question (which none of you even bothered to answer). What's so hard to understand about me preferring the US netflix and wanting to know whether i'd be able to use it on Tivo instead of the WD TV Live? I don't have Tivo btw but had been considering getting it after reading this news.

sorry your initial post just come across as a criticism. The only network settings are for when you are connecting to your home network. I would assume Netflix would use the Tivo internal internet connection so it does not look like it
