Turns out it’s not so hard! Follow these simple steps and before long you’ll be watching masses of crap US TV instead of masses of crap UK TV! Wahay!
Have Netflix installed on your Xbox 360 as usual, fire up the 360 but don’t launch Netflix
From the 360 dashboard, go:
Settings
System Settings
Network Settings
Now just select whichever out of Wired or Wireless you’re currently using (it’ll have a tick on it)
Hit Configure Network
Stay in the Basic Settings tab, and move down to the “DNS Settings” bit, and select to edit it
Hit Manual*
Hit Primary DNS Server and enter in 199.167.30.144
Hit Secondary DNS Server and enter in 149.154.158.186
Move down and hit Done at the bottom
Then just go Back Back Back Back Back all the way to the dashboard
Turn the 360 off, leave it a minute, turn it back on
Launch Netflix and marvel at the US content
Seems icons for some of the US shows are missing, which I’m not sure how to fix. I’m just using the search function to locate specific things at the moment, so it’s not an issue here yet.
Rad, But Now I’ve Realised I Hate US TV. What Now Mr Smarty Pants?
To switch back to UK content, simply follow up to step 6 but hit Automatic* instead, resume from step 7 and you’ll be back to normal.
Oh, Cool
*If you’re already using Manual DNS settings then make a note of them because you’ll need them again if you want to switch back to UK content.
no idea how up to date it is.

Public USA DNS settings give these a try. (october 2012)

I had it for about a month but the server back up thing or us VPN settings or whatever allowed it to happen was taken down.
Anyway, on a related point, if you change your Apple TV settings to the us store it gives different film options. For example Madagascar 3 is on there for $5 to rent. Can I rent this? It will cost over £20 to go cinema to watch it.
