This is where companies like Netflix can prosper, by taking abruptly-terminated shows and reviving them. That, and of course, delivering wholly unique content...

Is anyone getting Netflix to work these days? I keep getting the "You appear to be using a proxy/VPN..." message. I'm thinking of cancelling my sub.

No problems, but then again, I'm only running the local version through my Fetch TV STB - so I guess that doesn't count.

If this one falls over I'm going to cancel Netflix and stick with Hulu and Amazon - and torrents

Cool, thanks. I can pretty much handle losing Netflix and Hulu but if the iPlayer goes my wife will go mental.

As it stands I don't know why anyone in the UK with a decent internet connection would pay the TV tax

Is iPlayer working for you? I've been getting the "something went wrong" message for a couple of days on my Roku? On my laptop the video doesn't load.

Switched from SmartyDNS to Unlocator and now it works again, even Netflix!

The BBC may have a nasty up their sleeve with the Olympics coming up. "7" are trying to charge non-Telstra customers $20 for access to "36 channels" online (no mention of HD), and NBC in the states got reamed last time over their terrible coverage. You can see the providers wanting to recoup their payments, and the BBC wanting to oblige, and cut their bandwidth demands.
Don't be surprised if something comes along to stop you watching BBC live streams - it's a nice testbed for the Beeb and their aim of cutting off non-payers.

All part of the cat and mouse DNS providers are playing with Netflix. I've been seeing that NF had been winning but it now looks like the DNS boys are fighting back!

I think that's the way it will go. It would be very difficult for the BBC to stop iplayer from being used outside the UK
