not sure if this is a rant but it peed me right off last night!
We've started watching breaking bad the last few nights after the lo's are tucked up. Last night sat down to watch it and its gone from Netflix!! :bomb:
I know they've to update the films and programmes they have but thought it was really strange, i was raging!

I thought that was only on the americanone, did you get an American ip address by any chance? When it's turned off it reverts back to the Irish one

Thanks girls, DH did some investigating and it turns out it's been taken off due to them not having the rights to show it in Ireland apparently :huh:
Not sure about it now to be honest, i cant seem to find much on it at all everything is very dated. DD has watched a few movies but the free trial is ending in a few days dont think we'll keep it.

You have to use an American IP... no idea how to do it though, but I've read it is in breech of Asshole Sherlocks new legislation...

I got the US version for the trial month
bought the ip address and all was well
but once the trial was over Netflix said the zipcode I provided for my credit card
wasn't the same as the billing address and so can't watch it anymore.

What a pain.........

I just followed mrsgiggles link on the other thread and it works for me, using my Irish account details..., didn't buy any ip address or anything, just changed the DNS settings on the wii... Did it in minutes and it worked....Are you using it on a wii?

I must change ours over as well. We have it connected to the wii and a laptop connected to the TV in another room.

I just paid for the Irish Netflix and out in a US DNS in my wii settings... Didn't pay for a VPN... We mainly use it on the wii, have it on the iPad too, which I guess will still be the Irish one...

Went to watch an episode of Breaking Bad that I fell asleep during last week, so I could catch up with DH, and can't believe it is gone! We access through apple tv so haven't really looked into getting the US one up to now - there was plenty on the Irish one to keep us busy, but we were enjoying getting into Breaking Bad... You'd think they would have had any rights issue sorted before they launched with a programme included on their listing :bomb:
