Default US Netflix on a Roku 3

Does anyone know how to get US Netflix on a Roku 3? I've got a US Roku account and have tried using Unblockus and Blockless but I still cannot get US Netflix. It works for me on other devices such as the WDTV.

Thanks, unfortunately that didn't work. I'm thinking of getting rid of the Roku's over this.

When roku made the switch a few months back I couldn't get it to work on my Shaw modem either.

I just started downloading more.

Unfortunately it seems Roku is more concerned about keeping the big entertainment and telecommunications corporations happy than its end users.

Roku hardcover googles DNS (8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4) thereby defeating unblockus's workaround DNS. He way to make it work is to describe a "static route" in your routers configuration. Unblockus's describes how to do that for most common routers. Unfortunately if your router model is not listed you will have to research how to modify your router. Note that some routers do not allow static routes, including most prominently Apple routers, and some Shaw issued modems. I would suggest replacing the router, or in Shaws case bridging the modem and installing a compatible router. Just my two cents. I have a shaw connection and have US Netflix on Roku 3.
