I'm not sure but I believe that you need a VPN to view it in Thailand....I could be wrong

Yes, Netflix can't be accessed from here, unless you have something in place telling it you're not here. :shock:

Further....go here: http://www.unblock-us.com/ You can select to show you're in any region they offer, not just the USA. You get a free 1 week trial which should fit your schedule here, or at least part of it. Pete :cheers:

Thanks in advance.

If you can view on a pc, install Zenmate into Firefox as an addon and this gives you a VPN for the UK and a few other countries for free.
I have been able to watch MOTD live on a Sunday afternoon without a problem. I don't use Netflix here but see no reason why it wouldn't work. Sorry I can't help with the iPad but there are some VPN apps available in the App store.

^ Had not heard of "Zenmate" before Jools, so thanks for that - looks like a useful tool. Have downloaded as an add-on to Chrome, so shall be testing it in due course.

Kendo - another option could be to download "Opera Mini" to use as your Internet Browser. This also hides your IP address, so should work (although it won't provide you with a specific location as a VPN can). Not sure if it's free with Apple, but worth a try if it is as you won't be paying a monthly subscription.

I use a VPN router so I can access using many different Roku, iPads and laptops... VPN is the answer....

Anyone tried this yet? Claims to be free by streaming direct from torrents/yify database: http://popcorntime.io/

Neighbour has it and it seems to work well, I'm wondering what the catch is.

the catch is you have to install a app on your computer provided by people who are stealing the content they are providing. sort of like short time in Cambodia without a condom. malware or god knows what. good luck.

Non that I can see, been using it for a while now.

Great for the kids, nothing to watch or too long to torrent, popcorn gives you movies and TV series virtually on demand, I actually torrent a lot less and just use popcorn for a lot of my TV watching.

One slight niggle, if the movie you want to watch is quite old, it will take time to load if the seed rate is low. Latest releases are fine.
