    Default Netflix to Nordic countries

    We will get Netflix this year to the Nordic countries, I live in Finland. I hope we will get Boxee app also and get it to work in Boxee Box.

    I would think the netflix app in boxee is only restricted by IP address, so as soon as they are ready to release, they will problaby live the restrictions on IP addresses from the Nordic Region and the app will be available.

    Unfortunately, it's not likely that the current version of Boxee will include Netflix for countries outside of the US and Canada. I expect that this entry in the Netflix FAQ for the Boxee Box will apply:

    Netflix is now available in Latin America and the United Kingdom. When will it be available on the Boxee Box for these customers?

    Unfortunately there is no ETA as to when the Netflix app on the Boxee Box will be available in Latin America and the United Kingdome. See also: http://jira.boxee.tv/browse/BOXEE-11389
    However, you can sign up for a service such as unblock-us.com and possibly have access to the Netflix app that way (but maybe only US content, not sure).

    Ugghhhh I was ecstatic about getting my Boxee Box a year ago, but it's been one thing after another at how disappointing it's been for me. Lack of support, lack of decent applications that are regularly updated, lack of firmware updates, etc. etc. etc.

    Now why would this not be available via an app to those of us outside the US. I'm also in Finland and was thrilled to hear about Netflix being available here when it hit the news a few weeks ago. Looks like yet another reason to dump my Boxee Box!

    So, today they released Netflix in the Nordic region. Has anybody had the chance to see if it's available? Shouldn't Netflix be in charge of the streaming app for Boxee? Why do Boxee even need to be involved in this?

    I talked with Netflix support today and they said they knew many wanted an Boxxe box app and that they were looking into that (whatever that means)...

    As of today, Netflix is avalible in Denmark. Sadly no Netflix-app is avalible.
    HBO is opening their netstream shortly. No app for that aswell.

    Still no Netflix app on the boxee here in Denmark, as we got Netflix available...
    Just read the first "guide" to best media streamers for Netflix. Boxee Box is on the list, and shot to the ground as they recommend NOT to buy it, as it doesn't support netflix...

    Who ever is responsible for the Boxee App, Netflix or D-Link... It's freaking sad that they aint working faster -_-

    You need to use a VPN of some sort which is utter crap, i was really happy with my boxee and sort of still is but the lack of an netflix App is lame
