While we are on this subject....
You can stream netflix movies, amazon prime, BBC... using unotelly's
unodns. The service costs 5 usd/month + provider's cost. Example:
1) Netflix costs you 8usd/month + 5 usd unotelly = 13 USD/month for
unlimited movies + series. It works brilliantly on a 4 Mbps link.

2) Amazon prime costs 79 usd/year + 60 usd/year for unotelly = 139
us/year for thousands of movies, ebooks, tv series.. That's a year's
package for < 3 months of DSTV's subscription fees.

Installation is a breeze. Just make unodns your primary DNS server ...
and that's it!
