There are significant differences in the functionality of the internet apps available on various brands of TVs and BluRay players even within the same BRANDS. I have a Panasonic DMP-85K BluRay and a Panasonic VIERA TC-P42G25 42-Inch 1080p Plasma HDTV. Vieracast for Netflix functions very differently between the two units. I have a very versatile search function within Netflix on the plasma but absolutely none on the BluRay and they both come from the Vieracast server! I am limited to viewing the movies added to the instant queue via a PC (or the plasma) on the BluRay. Additionally, Foxsports and Twitter is functional on the plasma but not the Bluray. VuDu is functinal on the BluRay but not the plasma - go figure. Would give my eye teeth for HuLU but it's not mentioned on either device. I assume it's a combo of licensing and hardware restrictions but I really don't know that for sure. Searching for Netflix video on a PC is not really all that bad condsidering the option of trying to punch in the data via tri-tap or onscreen keyboards using the devices. Gotta love VierraLink though if all your equipment is compatible. BTW, the Panny WiFi adapter is dual mode and works flawlessly. The only other one that I know of that is compatible is the Netgear WNDA3100version2 for about the same price. Not a valid gripe that it isn't "built in" because the USB cable allows for multiple positioning. Also, after much research, dollars spent. and time wasted, I think it is worthwhile to get a dual band router (Netgear WNDR37AV) and devote the 5Mz to the dumb BluRays and Tvs and devote the 2.4 band to data. You will be happy you did. This router allows you to set up QOS by MAC and it makes a huge difference even with a "so-so" broadband connecton of 5Mb down. I can stream 2 HD movies at the same time without loss of quality (and check out whats up on Facebook)

All the movies on Netflix do not have closed caption. If it has not been converted to internetcc you will not get it. Internet cc and DVD cc are not conpatible.

Yes to all. See my other answers. I subscribe to Netflix and have not had any issues. But typically, my TV and my AppleTV box can all stream Netflix so I usually do not turn my Blu-ray on for Netflix although it does stream it with no problems.

I'm like you, I bought mine back in July strictly for Netflix capability. FWIW, it's been working flawlessly since July on the earlier versions. Its just this latest (1.43) that screwed it up. I even tried installing an earlier working firmware version (1.27) by downloading off their support website where you burn it to a CD, put it in the tray and install directly. The unit comes back and says "Cannot install firmware. The unit has a more current version installed than the disc you are trying to use". So now, we're stuck until the fix comes.

I rent from Netflix Blu-Ray/DVD and from the Public Library. I have not had any trouble with playback. Well let me step back a bit. I was using CyberLink PowerDVD 10 when I first purchased the Buffalo and I did have some trouble. I upgraded to CyberLink 14 and had no trouble at all after that. However, let me give you a heads up on something else I discovered. "Endpoint Security" by Bitdefinder and I imagine some other antivirus programs will constantly read/search the Buffalo Drive if you don't disable that. I didn't know how to do it. My Cable Provider, who I installed Bitdefinder from addressed and solved that issue. All-In-All I say the Buffalo MediaStation is a pretty good unit.

I don't order netflix but the problem your having is due to a setting that needs to be changed on your tv. Change the aspect ratio http://www.cnet.com/1991-7874_1-5140690-4.html

I just got a PS3 and the streaming Netflix feature is only by way of inserting a Disc provided from Netflix which uses BD live to stream the content (from what I've read). It may be specific to the PS3, but it would be worth it to pop that disc into the Sony S560 and see if it can do it the same way. This disc is free from Netflix to customers by requesting one at www.netflix.com/PS3Someone try it out and post back here. If it works, I would consider getting this unit for the bedroom.

I've tried 3 different discs from Netflix and all with the same result - nothing! A new update disc from Sony arrived today so I'll see if that helps.

The B650 does support blockbuster demand video and doesn't support netflix now. This television doesn't have Samsung internet@television but you could simply buy a capable blu-ray player with netflix capabilities nowadays for cheap. That will give you netflix. Or even use the PS3.

Why is it i have troble streaming Netflix to my Sony Blue Ray DVD every FRIDAY and SATURDAY night? Daytime and Week nights, NO PROBLEM? Are NETFLIX Servers overloaded? What is the real problem because I don't think its my connection or device. I know it's not my connection because I'm entering this as I'm watching my frequently stoping Netflix movie and my connection is FINE. It has taken about 3 hours to watch an 1 1/2 hr movie. :( Does anyone else have this PROBLEM?

I am having the same issue. I check the network connection and it is fine. I can pick a movie in the Netflix app so I am connected to Netflix. I contacted Netflix and they gave me a list of lg blu ray players that they said LG provided them and this is not one of them. I've also contacted LG to see what their response is but I haven't gotten a response yet. Has anyone used Netflix with this blu ray player? If so, how did you activate it?

Awesome J.Ausfeld! When you get this figured out - please let us know. My wife tried to get me the 2550 for Christmas, but got confused and I ended up with a 2500. Meanwhile, I *love* the netflix streaming... it works great. Now if I can only add Pandora! (Also, I've been thinking that with web-enabled content, all kinds of applications could theoretically be programmed on a disc...).

Update to my previous post. It looks like netflix is only showing up in the marketplace on my transformer. It doesn't show up in the marketplace for my wife's galaxy tab. Neither device is rooted. I was thinking that the android marketplace was the same for every android tablet but I guess not. Still won't connect to stream though but it seems that maybe netflix is getting ready to expand a little hopefully in the near future.

What is required to set up the connection to stream Netflix movies directly to my TV? I have a BlueRay player connected to the TV. Can the movies be downloaded through the BlueRay player, as indicated in one of the previous messages? If so, how do you set this up? I am a Time Warner cable customer and I get TV, internet and phone through them.

The BDP-95 will not display captioning or subtitle on Netflix. I'm hoping a future firmware/software upgrade will change this.
