I got the free trial to try out on my Wii specifically, but haven't got it to work, as the link above notes. Unfortunately, relegated to just the computer for now, I think I might let the trial expire until they either fix the issue or I get a compatible device (Boxee, etc.). Cool.

Cheers! Ben Hi DaveO,

The same appears to go for other devices like Apple TV, etc. So, I'm puzzled how you got it to work with your Boxee?  It seems, according to their website, that a Canadian Netflix account only works via the computer, iPad or iPhone: http://support.unblock-us.com/customer/portal/articles/291505-do-i-need-a-us-netflix-account-how-do-i-set-it-up-

There are plenty of other alternative hosts through which this type of usage is clearly within the terms of use (Linode, RackSpace, EC2, etc.) and if you have one of those alternatives available they are probably a better option to use (note that EC2 might incur some decent costs depending on how much bandwidth you are using). Cheers! Ben Hey @joeladria:disqus ,

I'm with dreamhost and have quite a few sites with them, and wouldn't want them locking up my sites over something like this :-) While this is an excellent hack, Dreamhost and/or any other webhost might not always be happy about streaming through their server.
