This is the Netflix hack the world has been waiting for (Smartflix)

Because Netflix doesn’t own the global licensing rights to all of the movies and TV shows it carries, a good deal of its programming remains completely unavailable to subscribers outside of certain geographic regions. Indeed, one of the reasons why Netflix is so intent on developing its own original programming is precisely because they don’t have to deal with thorny licensing issues.

Now if you find yourself in the frustrating position of wanting to watch something on Netflix that is otherwise geographically restricted, there’s a new desktop app that can help turn that dream into a reality.

IOW, you’re paying for Netflix to get your “credentials” and then you pay again to use them on this new thing.

There’s much out there watching in the first place.

Anyone know when a new season of Longmire is due out?

I’ve used HMA for years.

Any IP rerouter will work but HMA works best for my needs.

It’s good. Sort of laid back. No gangsta rappers. On Netflix, start from the beginning.

Only watch it if you want to support the star of the show:

Little Steven: States passing ‘Evil’ Religious Liberty Laws should be ‘Hurt Economically’

Veteran E Street Band guitarist Steven Van Zandt declared Friday the best way to punish states passing “really vile and evil” religious freedom legislation is to “hurt them economically.”

After Bruce Springsteen announced he had abruptly canceled a show in Greensboro to protest North Carolina’s LGBT “bathroom law,” Van Zandt spoke to reporters about the band’s decision to pull the plug on its fans.

I tried to watch Lillehammer and made it through 3 episodes (I think) before deciding it’s definitely not for me. The main character seems like he’d be okay in a recurring supporting role but definitely doesn’t have the acting chops to carry a show in a leading role. And the perpetual scowl with the downturned mouth seemed contrived, like he was pretending to be an amalgam of DeNiro characters from the past.
