Trying to get UK netflix on US Wii

[scarnie]

I have a US Wii console and now live in the UK. I want to stream the new UK Netflix to the console. Have got as far as loading Netflix onto console but when i try and log onto my UK Netflix account it tells me that it needs an update to stream video, however the console thinks it is at the latest update. Can anyone help?

Due to the differences between PAL (UK) and NTSC (US) coding and the like, I'm pretty sure you won't be able to get Netflix running the way you want, sorry to say.

But I'm not Nintendo tech support, so I couldn't say for sure. I'd recommend talking to the officials by phone; you can get their contact info here. Best of luck!

hi, did you ever get to the bottom of this? i found your question when googling the same thing. i'm about to move back to the UK from the US and wondering if we should just sell our Wii and all the games before we go, and buy a new one there. Seems to make the most sense...
