For those of you who use Netflix and would like to get extra content by accessing the American version, try installing the web browser extension "Media Hint". It's very simple, free and as far as I can gather, safe. https://www.mediahint.com/ Simply follow the very simple, quick instructions on the site, enable the extension and you'll be able to use the American version!
Wonder if this will let me use BBC iPlayer. Thanks, I'll give it a go. EDIT: It does work, thanks Nath, that'll come in handy,
