From what I've heard there are still a few of the DNS unblocking services that work. Alternately there are VPN providers that will provide you with a dedicated IP registered to an internet service provider, that due to not being shared with other VPN users will never be blocked.

I use one of those on our HTPC for US Netflix & Hulu, problem ? :D

That's cheap compared to anime dvds. I remember Trigun working out to about ten bux and episode with the initial Pioneer release in NA.

Yes I bought it.

For Trigun you'll pay your fucking ten dollars an episode and like it. :colbert:

The whole rights thing is ridiculous, there's so much political BS in the entertainment industry. It's not really Netflix's fault but just the overall industry's fault, that this is even a thing. These companies need to get their heads out of their asses and actually embrace the idea that content can now be delivered anywhere in the world and allow content providers like Netflix to do it.

On similar thought I hate that there are so many different netflix clones now, what is going to end up happening is all the content is going to be split across all these different services, then we're back to regular cable TV. You want to watch this show? You need to subscribe to this channel too!

You also need to remember it's not always the ebil companies' fault. For example, some governments require a certain percentage of content originate from the country, and guess what, Netflix has to pay for that too. (And when I say Netflix pays for it I really mean the customers)

Which provider does this? What does it cost?
