    Oh, nice, because I’m accessing my @netflix account from outside the UK, I can’t continue watching Downton Abbey. How utterly daft.

        @aral Spoiler: It turns out that after watching a few episodes, Lady Mary is indeed hot, and Cousin Matthew is a Fop.

        @aral use @theTunnelBear proxy to VPN to UK. Netflix will work fine then. Can also use to get US content. Quite cool.

        @aral Bit weird when in the US and the Netflix selection is suddenly comparatively MASSIVE.

        @aral Yup. Apple goes for one-country account, which works anywhere; Netflix has worldwide account but content switches per region.

        @aral I would highly recommend ProXPN, best VPN service (multi-location), I have tried. Not sure about the free one, but paid one is great!

        @aral The question here, really, is why are you watching Downton? Maybe it’s for the best… ;)

        @aral @netflix True, but you do get access to a much broader range of programs that you can't get here #carpediem
