I have both atv2 and atv3. Atv2 jailbroken but atv3 can still be used with Netflix. All u need is VPN and Netflix subscription is only usd7.99 per month!

Thanks

Hi buddy. The previous KVPUG forum was so darn addictive in those days, huh? Have we met at any of our meets previously?

Anyway, I use tunlr VPN. It's free and Netflix works beautifully. Netflix gives you a 1 month free trial and after that it's only usd7.99 per month which is very affordable IMO.

It was very addictive & we did meet at one of the events at Mont Kiara where i bought one of your instrumental CDs. Thanks for the VPN info. I'll drop by machines when they stock it and get the apple tv. In the mean time i'll look into the vpn service first

maybe it's maybank?? hmmm.. l;et me try again... registering using itune id in the ATV3, wont accept my itune malaysia account..

1. Setup a US itunes account by following the link http://www.cultofmac.com/43040/get-a-u-s-i...e-world-how-to/ and use a new or alternative email address thats not associated with your Malaysian iTunes ID. Best is to setup a new email. Make sure you lookup a valid US zipcode and address beforehand. You can use Fake Name Generator which will give you an address with a valid zipcode.
2. Go to tunlr or your preferred service and setup the vpn etc. Tunlr used in this example since I use that service.
3. Logout from your existing malaysian itunes store account if not yet logged out and use the US itunes account. Key in the DNS numbers from step 2 above you should be able to see the Netflix on your device (appletv or ipad)
4. Download and register an account on Netflix. You will need a credit card for Netflix since only 1st month is free but they will not charge until end of trial period. I used a Maybank CC and it was ok.
5. Login to netflix and enjoy

Might be a different way of doing it but this worked for me

Bro Sinque, some great advises that you have provided.

Yea, I managed to watch movies with Netflix with my ATV3, but me too is getting non HD quality. I'm already on Unifi VP5 package.

Is there any setting to do so that I can get the HD quality? Btw, I manage to view the iTune provided trailers in HD.
*
On the ATV3 under Settings just do the "Test Network" thingy coz thats where it asks you what speeds you usually get with you connection. Apart from that I got no idea coz my fixed line is Streamyx 1mbps cry.gif (thats the best TM can provide here) but i also use Celcom Broadband 3.6mbps. Its not that stable and i seldom get the higher speeds but with FUP of 6GB I'm not too worried on getting HD quality since that will suck up my quota very-very fast.

How much does a reseller sells it for here? Is there still warranty if bought from non-Apple reseller?
*
Apple online store, machines, mac city etc. are all selling the ATV3 for RM 349.00 with international warranty. You get it with a 3 pin plug and not an adapter, which sometime you might get if you buy it from non-Apple reseller since they might have sourced it from overseas.

I think it depends on your connection speed instead of your device. I use an ipad as well

Hi,

Just got my apple tv yesterday.wanna ask a couple of questions.

1)How can i watch netflix? I cant even register because it says my payment option is not valid.
2) manage to browse through hulu plus but i cant stream the video because it says it can only be play within US region. I'd already setup my apple tv using tunlr DNS though.

What should i do?

Refer to post #611 on page 31 of this thread and you should be ok

yep, that's the ATV1. Silver box.


Added on October 10, 2012, 10:02 amGuys, just discovered a replacement for tunlr dns that has now dissapointed many many people. I too was really disheartened and since i paid for netflix, i knew i had to find something else so that my entertainment needs would not be shattered. The answer to this is proxydns.co
Tried it since yesterday and works like a charm on netflix and all other geo-blocked content as well. It's free! Change your DNS to 74.207.242.213 and voila!
Enjoy and sharing is caring, so here you go!

Is this still working for you guys? it is not for me. Dns that i use is the same as the one above but i get a message saying that netflix is not available where i am. Trying to figure out if the solutions is no longer feasible or its just my setup.

A restart worked for me and i realised this when i could open Netflix on my iPad.

Thanks and also thanks for the proxydns solution
