Netflix subscription over a VPN service

Hi
I'll shortly be getting the Boxee box (wifi online media streamer) to hook up to my TV. I believe by the end of the year Boxee will release an app for Netflix which is the US equivalent of lovefilm but only about a fiver a month. Obviously being US based, Netflix won't work from UK IP addresses so will have to sign up for a VPN service which provides me with a US ip address. Couple of questions:
1) You need a US mailing address when signing up to Netflix, however does the credit card billing address also have to be in US? Has anyone in UK managed to subscribe to Netflix for viewing online content?
2) Assuming i am able to sign up, could someone recommend VPN (PPTP based) providers? Don't mind paying but obviously want it at the lowest price with fast VPN servers (apparently OpenVPN doesn't work with Boxee). The 2 i've come across are overplay.net @ $10 per month and witopia.net @ $40 per year.
Thanks
