Re: Using lawyer for LMO
Just a shame the Sony/samsung/Panasonic smart tvs and blu ray players don't work with it. They're locked to their home region, at least according to the support posts. Just a nice easy way to access. Obviously other alternatives like hooking laptop to TV, apple TV, xbox, etc. Would just be nice if that problem was solved!

Re: Using lawyer for LMO
I'll need to actually take the trial and have a look!
Just according to some posts I saw on the support pages (acknowledged by the support team as an issue), it suggested that the Son Blu-ray players, tv's (as well as Samsung, Panasonic) started having issues where they'd only show the content of the home country.
For instance, you switch your country to the US, log into netflix. It'd show some US content but when you try to actually play US specific content, it wouldn't let you. Same with not allowing iplayer. Have you managed to play something you know is definitely only US netflix, and not also on Canadian?
They said they were having this issue across a few devices and a solution was to actually take a US netflix account. I have a Canadian one, so don't want to mess around with getting a second, or cancelling the Canadian one, faking a US address, etc. I'd rather just keep my Canadian one!
I'll need to actually take some time, set up the trial and see what happens!
It'd be a Sony blu-ray player in one room, and in the other I could use either the samsung smart TV or a sony blu-ray player. Did you change the settings on the device itself, or your router? How did you tell it to be UK for iplayer and US for netflix on the TV?
I'll see when I get a chance. You may be getting a PM from me if it doesn't work after I try it :-)

Re: Using lawyer for LMO
As this thread seems to have drifted off track (even more than normal), I think it's time it was closed. Hopefully the OP has realised that whilst s/he may have got away with manipulating the system/bribery/fraud in the past, it won't work with a job advert and LMO app.
