Apple TV and Netflix in the Philippines?

**helloluis** · 12-24-2011, 11:10 AM

So I've been trying to figure out if there's any way to get my Apple TV to use Netflix, given that I've already got a Netflix account. I kinda assumed that the app would just show up on the ATV interface, but it's not there. (I live in the Philippines btw.)

I could try setting up a VPN so that my AppleTV appears as if its IP address is in the US, but I'm not sure if that alone would solve the problem. Has anyone tried to do something like this before?

VPN is the way bro.

I use unblock-US.com. On my ATV 2 Netflix has always been an option even before i set up an unblock-US account. Maybe it's because my iTunes account is a USA account.

You can easily buy Netflix gift card online. Also I believe Netflix accepts local credit card (not strict as Hulu Plus). They only checks IP address. So you will have to use a proxy

What ISP are you guys using? Are the ISPs here in the Philippines good enough for us to be able to use netflix, Hulu and such?

Live streaming ba? or baka naman you need to wait an hour to be able to download the content.

I'm using PLDT MyDSL 5MBPS but im not sure if this can do live streaming (netflix/etc).

I have a 3mbps internet connection and Netflix & Hulu run smoothly. I cant achieve HD quality streams though. Btw, i'm using unblock-us.

Tunnel Bear is another great option.

Hi there. I also wanted to stream netflix here. Correct me if im wrong, if i have an account with for example unblock-us for 5 dollars then i can always sign up and subscribe for netflix right? even if im here in the philippines?

Im trying to check if i got this right. lol.

Many things can be streamed (listened as well) outside USA. I have tested successfully for Netflix, Hulu Plus, Spotify, Amazon Instant Video, Vudu, Roku (US channels), Rhapsody...

Currently testing Pandora, HBO GO, Aereo TV
