I've found an easy solution to get access to Netflix through my Apple-TV ver 2 in Europe, now I'm just waiting for the preconfigured VPN router to arrive. I'll tell you more about the set-up when it arrives.

I tried streaming a HD-rental movie from Apple yesterday and it wasn't painless with a lot of disruptions waiting for the film to continue loading, but at least it didn't halt completely. I'm going to try a non HD rental next time.

I just tried to play a regular none HD film/stream and there were no lag in the streaming whatsoever and the movie started playing right away.

This Apple-TV box has proven to be really useful and the interface is very easy to use.

There are now more people watching Netflix through the Apple-TV than through the Ipad

According to Netflix’s quarterly earnings report, more customers are using the service on an Apple TV than the iPad. This is despite the fact that Apple has sold over 15 million iPads and only 2 million Apple TVs.
I would however like to argue that the Apple-TV is a more natural channel to watch Netflix than the iPad due to the fact that it connects to your TV.
