It will off by itself unless you have airplay connected on the mac or iphone or ipad etc.

Sometimes it will be activated by some remote controls. My Onkyo AVR remote sometimes on my ATV3 automatically (signal problem)

Noob question here. The unblock-us use VPN or DNS because the guide only change the DNS adress. I thought to enable netflix must use VPN not DNS.

Thanks in advance and sorry because im newbie >.<

You only need a DNS geo unblocker for Netflix to work. You don't require a VPN.

yes, but I'm using unlocator and prefer it over any other dns unblocker out there. Its rock solid, no downtime and streams in hd. Go here for a free trial and to sign up. https://unlocator.com/account/aff/go/bxWxMwTCuaV58YDY

I used smart dns proxy. As low as USD2.08 a month. Got 14 days free trial. Netflix and Hulu+ is fast and super hd quality.

4. So, after you get your VPN and do the simple setup, you are now ready to register for the service that you want. If you like netflix, then just go to www.netflix.com or www.hulu.com for Hulu Plus. And if you want both, then just go for it. Register for the FREE trial for both and see which one you would prefer. Netflix offer 1 month free trial while hulu plus is 1 week. Anyway, your VPN trial is just a week so probably you would have to decide before it expired. Both Netflix and Hulu Plus cost 7.99USD (RM26.40).

With this, you have learn on how to enhance the use of Apple TV3. There are other channels to subscribe besides netflix and hulu plus, and as long as you are subscribed to Unblock-US VPN service, you will have no problem accessing those channels.

using VPN on AppleTV Gen3 is not difficult actually. Get a DD-WRT router, set all your VPN setting (set a US server) and you are good to go, all your wired and wireless connection at home is secured under VPN.

Hi guys. Recently meaning noticed it last week that airplay no longer works in the background meaning if my iPad airplay to Apple TV the video will stop once my iPad sleeps. Previously it was working fine. Any idea on what might be the issue? I have both iPad Air and mini. Both same issue.

Almost forgotten to report on current Netflix quality, will test tonight on Apple TV, iPad, iPhone, Xiaomi MI3 and Rikomagic MK 802 IV using the method below and post results here thereafter! BTW, I am on UniFi VIP 10.

Will do some investigation during CNY if possible to ascertain.

Problem is,not all Netflix content is in Super HD and even if it is,to the best of my recollection,it will only show onscreen that you're getting HD through computer playback c/f phone/tablet/tv.report after CNY

Best (and sustained) test results as follows, using El Fuente: 60 MP10 clip on Netflix USA region with Getflix DNS:

Bitrate/Resolution/PAR

Apple TV on 720p/1080i TV on HDMI connection via LAN: 1050 kbps/640x480/3:4

iPad (4th generation) via Wifi: 3000 kbps/1280x720/1:1

Xiaomi MI3 via Wifi: 1050 kbps/640x480/3:4

Rikomagic MK 802 IV on Dell U2311H 23" LCD (on VGA connection through Minix Neo V1 HDMI to VGA adapter) via USB LAN: 560 kbps/512x384/3:4

The above test results seem accurate except for Apple TV where I am quite sure that I get better (720p) quality when watching normal (non-test) movies/shows. Forgot to test quality when airplaying Netflix to Apple TV from iPad but will post result when available.

In so far as Netflix quality through web browser on desktop PC (with Full HD (1080p) LCD) is concerned, I can confirm that you can very easily get 720p quality. As for 1080p on PC, will check when I have the time.

Hope this helps those who are shopping for media boxes/sticks with ultimate purpose being to stream Netflix/Hulu Plus etc at maximum video quality. Unfortunately, best streaming quality to date still comes from Apple devices or Roku. Please also note that Android tablets currently support streaming in 480p save for select KitKat (Android OS 4.4) based devices where Netflix HD playback is available - Netflix Help Center.

I cant on my AppleTV with Mac or iPhone already.

Usually when the ATV3 is off (no led) i can easily on it by AirPlay-ing something from iPhone or Mac. But now i can no longer do that, the airplay button only appear on my Mac or iPhone when the AppleTV is manually ON using remote.

How to get it back like usual?

Hi buddy, how this dns proxy actually works? Noob here sorry blush.gif

I just signed up Smart Dns Proxy for 14 days free trial, and I received an email saying my IP is activated in their system (Your IP is activated in our system, your Active IP : 14.1xx.xxx.xxx)

then I just follow the instruction to setup my atv3 by changing the dns as instructed on the website and then Netflix works flawlessly

And I wonder what actually happens if my Smart Dns Proxy trial expired? because I just changing my dns number on my atv3 with general ones as stated in the site (Alternate DNS server : 54.229.171.243). This number isn't unique right? everyone can use it without pay?

What actually they mean by 'my IP is activated in their system'. Is this the thing we need to subscribe?

Thanks

Once your free trial expired, you won't be able to access US geo blocked sites. Do let me know if it still work without paying.
Very hard to find free DNS nowadays. So I just paid up and have peace of mind till now. Go for 24 months subscription and it's only approx US2.00 per month.

This ATV thing is very interesting indeed. For those movies that are rented from Netflix and Hulu, it is censored or uncensored?

It's gonna be pretty bad if the movies are censored though.
