    I live in Canada but prefer watching American Netflix
    changing my D.N.S settings on my Playstation and P.C hasn't presented any issues
    but although changing the D.N.S on my X1 appeared pretty straight forward using a simple playstore
    app. it hasn't changed the fact that Netflix still sees my Location as Canada on my Zidoo device
    can anyone help?

    You don't need an app to change your DNS settings.

    For WiFi
    go into Settings > Wi-Fi > Highlight your WiFi name and press and hold the OK button on the remote until a menu comes up.
    Select Modify Network and check the Show Advanced Options radio button
    manually enter your DNS settings there

    For Ethernet
    go into Settings > Ethernet and make a note of your Connection Info to see your current IP address
    Select Static IP Mode and enter your DNS settings there.

    In both the above I have also set a static IP address for my box within the same settings. If you are unsure how to do this google setting up a static ip on android.

    Goog luck.

    I have changed my DNS and am using a static IP but Netflix still recognizes me as having a Canadian address
    a VPN app worked but it has a monthly charge
    Does anyone have any free solutions??
