Netflix are continuously fixing the DNS servers so you may need to look for a more up to date pair of servers, also your default gateway doesn't look right.

Are you sure that's the right default gateway? It's typically 0 or 1 by most manufactures.

What happens, does it fail to connect to the internet, or just connect to UK version or what?

When I press OK on the settings and test the connection it throws up a generic failed to connect message.

Why is your IP address an external one?

Also I'd be very suspicious that the default gateway is 192.168.0.3. That BluRay player will have no way of knowing how to get to 192.168.0.3 with that external IP address and subnet mask. With a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 that device only knows about the 81.109.97.0-255 network.

Lastly, DNS servers continuously die for this sort of thing.

Yeah I figured out what I was doing wrong, IP Address is the internal router assigned one, default gateway was .1 I was getting them mixed up.

Managed to get it to work for about an hour then it died again, might just use my US VPS that I've got sitting idle and put it to some use.
