I'm in the UK and I'll continue to pay for access to the US Netflix, since it has a much larger instant library. Even though this works out more expensive, at around £10/month (I use a paid proxy called unblockus).

Do you need a US credit card to do this?

I also do this and couldn't use any of my credit cards. My UK Debit card (Lloyds TSB) worked fine though.

My Natwest card used to work, but in December it failed (Netflix saying I'm not a US customer).

I resolved it by using a proxy card from entropay.com, using this guide:

They take a percentage, but it's still cheaper than LoveFilm and I have it working on android, pc, ipad and PS3.

Thanks so much for this comment! :)
