You can register in your home country for Netflix and the available shows will still be determined by your VPN's IP.

Yes, if you're in Germany your programming is for Germany whether or not you have a US or German account.

The bad news is that you'll have to use a VPN to pretend to be from some other country (US) in order to get some of the shows not offered in your own country (Germany).

The good news is that you can use a VPN to register for Netflix (and pay less!) and get the same content as you would get if you registered in Germany.

The last time I checked some Netflix features (watch list?) were disabled if you are 'traveling' outside your region.

How can you see German programming in Netflix when it doesn't even exist yet in Germany? They're supposed to launch here in two weeks, but as far as I know nothing is available yet.
