Netflix with d8000: Has anyone else had trouble getting netflix to connect?

This is a common problem with the Samsung TV's, there are posts all over the internet about it. Fixes range from resetting the Smart Hub software to resetting the TV to factory defaults to having the mainboard in the TV replaced. I tried everything I could find (except having the mainboard replaced) and none of them worked. After hours of trying to figure out why HBOgo would work and not Netflix, I tried placing my TV's IP address in the DMZ of my router. Much to my surprise, this worked. I didn't want to leave it there, so I looked for updates to my router firmware. After updating the router firmware, I was able to take the TV out of the DMZ and Netflix continued to function. Apparently the Samsung Netflix app uses some sort of network traffic the old firmware didn't support. Before updating the router, Netflix streamed fine to my PC, Boxee Box and DVD player, but not to the TV...so I know it has to be an issue with the newer app... The Netflix setup is my only complaint about this TV, with how long Netflix has been around, you wouldn't think this would be an issue anymore.

2015 and still having these troubles. Often takes 3 to 4 minites for netflix to load. Sometimes we have to stop and restrart multiple times. Planning to use ROKU and skip the hub altogether.

My Netflix icon showed up right away. I did have a connection issue when initially setting up the TV. I called the 800 number that is listed on the owned manual and they were very helpful. Try calling LG.

Great question...I just did a firmware update hoping that Netflix streaming would show up...no luck. Seems like it could work if they wanted to.

As of right now firmware version 1.51 is available, and netflix appears to be working again. I didn't test anything else, so proceed with caution.

I haven't been able to at all. I can't use the Netfilx app, because the projector will only allow projection from their app that doesn't work, 'EZ View'It allows some internet but I couldnt get netflix to play even going to netfilx.com. The 'ez view' app kept crashing.

Does anything else work on the D-link? I'm sure it's not a Netflix problem, it's either an issue with your internet (but probably not since it works on your computer, which I'm assuming is on the same source of internet), or its a problem with your hardware.

You may need to disable Netflix in settings and then enable it that resets the account so you can log in again and it should work that's what I did after we had an outage

I didn't have any issues with subtitles on Netflix- in fact, I watched Detective Dee about a month ago and it worked fine. However, Netflix NOW doesn't work AT ALL. Just suddenly one day a message came up that it was unable to play a certain title. Haven't been able to watch ANY movie on Netflix via the Samsung HT e5500, the same message comes up. Customer service points fingers at Netflix, Netflix points back. I will say that Netflix DOES work on my LG Smart TV, which is OK I guess but I will have to directly connect the TV to the sound system so that I can use at least part of the home theatre set up. I have tried every fix in every forum. Very discouraging since I am fairly pleased with all other aspects of the system. But still and all I blame Samsung for this since Netflix works on every other device in my house. Frankly, it's a pretty big issue- and if you read all the forum complaints you might well steer clear.

TR has already answered this and then some. We usually have Netflix disconnect itself a few times a month while other video streaming apps work fine without logging us out. I honestly think it may just be something with Netflix and not Samsung. I DO wish someone would update the app though because I see friends with older TVs or cheap little Rokus that have better UI for Netflix.

Sounds like it might be a firewall issue. Check your router's firewall port forwarding and make sure that Netflix's streaming service is not being blocked. As for the DMZ of your router, not all routers have a DMZ (De-Militarized Zone), in fact most don't, at least not by default, so chances are this not part of the problem. Easiest way to check to see if it's a firewall issue is to bypass your router and go straight from your broadband modem to your TV's Ethernet port and if you can access Netflix then you know it's your router's firewall that's blocking the transmission.

I am having the same problem. A trouble shoot page about NetFlix suggested I instal FireFox. Tried it, FireFox wont run either. If anyone figures out a way to fix this problem please share!

If you're referring to the problem where the Netflix button on the remote doesn't work, go to Netflix via the Smart Hub. It always works that way for me. If that's not the problem to which you're referring, then I don't know.

The only connection/app that I see is for Netflix. Other than that, I would say No!

Just want to post to say I have been having the same problem, all of the other Panasonic apps work dine but Netflix did not. I changed my DNS to 8.8.8.8 as suggested above and it started working right away. How did you figure this out?

I encounter the same issue. When I want to use NetFlix, I turn the system off and let it restart, then go to "Settings" to see the "Network Status" which will show the connection you are getting (2 bars, three bars, etc.). I usually get two, sometimes three bars, if lucky). I then go to NetFlix from there and begin to load. There are times when I need to do this 2-3 times, but once I begin a movie, it usually carries through. And yes, great sound.
