I don't get HD content with my 4mbps internet connection on Netflix. Do you guys get to enjoy HD content? If so, what's your speed?

Did you set the DNS IP addresses from Unblock-US on the main router (for example if PLDT DSL, from their router device) or your own wireless router (ie. Cisco Linksys, DLINK or others) to get this working?

Netflix and Unblock-US subscriber here for about 3 months now and so far everything works great. I can watch netflix on my laptop, ipad and on our apple tv (good alternative to roku esp since mukang mas available sha dito). Have a globe 5mbps dsl connection, hd naman ang streams on all devices.

Didnt bother changing the dns settings on the router. Instead, i plugged the dns settings on the different devices.

Just sharing.

I used to own both,...
I used Netflix before, which was $7.99 a month, ng dumalang ang bagong movies,
we decided to end our subscription,...
I had Roku then before, which was used a player ng Netflix ko din,
and I tried other streaming provider too via Roku, I ended up giving away my player to a friend,
hindi ko din nagagamit kasi, mas madalas kong nagagamit ang media player ko (WDTV)...
If you love old movies, old TV series, well, masusulit ang Netflix for you,...

I just bought Chromecast - $24 and Fire TV Stick - $25 from BestBuy Thanksgiving sale (NH stores open early at 5pm today). I'll set-up the two devices when I get back to Phil this December, hopefully we get decent video streaming using Globe 3Mbps DSL connection.

Hi guys. I'm thinking of getting Globe Broadband (either 7 or 10 megabits) either via DSL or LTE. I will use the internet to stream Netflix and Hulu Plus to an Apple TV/HD TV using a VPN (Unblock-US). Is the setup I'm planning good?

Has Netflix eased up on the VPN crackdown it imposed a few months back?

you need to have vpn service for your android phone/device to access netflix.  pwede rin yung Unblock-US. on my end i have a separate tomato router that is solely connected to my vpn service this works well with netflix and chromecast.

Sa tomato router nyo pino proxy yung vpn services? Pagkaalam ko if router ang galawin dapat DNS ang e modify...

Fibr modem should first be in bridge mode and then connect a router to the modem then put in the DNS settings of unblock-us.

Just got a Roku Stick from Amazon...

Grabe, nahirapan ako i-setup...

Yun pala yung latest firmware nya, hardcoded na yung google DNS, kaya you need to block this.

Using Unotelly for DNS service...

I'm having issues with Netflix on PLDT Fibr. It keeps buffering and it can't go past 240p.

I'm planning to get apple tv and netflix (via vpn) too. But my vpn subscription is vpnunlimited which i got for a small fee na lifetime plan. The thing is, it will only work pala sa apple tv via airplay mirroring. So baka kuha na lang ako ng ibang subscription for vpn like unotelly or unblock-us. My question is, is there a way to make it automatically connect to the vpn when i use netflix/hulu in the apple tv? or will it be always turned on in my router?

I recently purchased an Amazon Fire TV stick and I find it efficient. I even got the local version of HBO GO to work on the Fire TV stick by sideloading the app in it so I am able to watch HBO GO on my TV.

Hopefully in the future iflix would have the Amazon fling feature so I can cast iflix content to the Fire TV stick. Sideloading the android app doesn't work.

Amazon Prime is not working on my Fire TV stick but other apps like Netflix & WWE Network are still working properly. :( I'm using Getflix's DNS service to bypass geoblocking.

8mbps will be enough for HD streaming on Netflix. Maybe it'll drop down to 480p and could suffer from a few hiccups as well especially during peak hours or if another person is downloading something else, but it can reach HD streams.

thanks,
