Hacking Install Netflix on PAL AU Wii, can it be done?

[Marcus McFry]

lets try this again, mods if you can delete my other thread I would appreciate it. I have a pal Australian Wii, I have softmodded it and it's on 4.3E I believe. I have a US Netflix account that I wish to use on the wii, however I know that netflix usually isn't on PAL/european wii's. I've read where it can be installed but many have had issues with their wii's afterwards. Is there any way I can install it without having any issues? Would the guides for the US wii's work on the PAL ones? I'm really being careful as I want it to work without bricking/messing up the wii.

use a ntsc/us neek2o setup and it should work like a charm

Netflix is on available for PAL Wii systems.
I assume you have your Wii Console / Wii Shop Channel set to Australian.
Change your country on the Wii console to UK and accept the UK Shop Channel agreement.
You will be able to connect to the UK Wii Shop Channel, and download the Netflix app.
Just change your country back when you have finished.
Also make sure you don't have any Wii Points as you will lose them when you change the country on the Wii console for the Shop Channel ...but it will warn you first.
You will not lose any purchases such as Wii Shop games or dlc by doing this.

will I be able to use my US netflix account being even though it downloaded from UK wii channel? (i will use unblock us) I may try this tomorrow before I try the other method if it's easier for me. Will this make me lose anything after I download it?

so I tried iQue method first & it's a no go, it's asking for an update. I would try your method Abdallah, it just seems like a lot to do and learn, me being new to the wii softmodding I don't want to risk damaging anything to the system. Any other options available that would work?
