not true. I have a dell mini 10 inch netbook 1 gb memory and it buffers and the quality is awful. it stops and starts, not a smooth picture so you should be careful about answering this question with such conviction. it depends on what netbook and how much power it has

I don't think netflix is available on linux natively. Will work with WINE though.

What's the story with this? We'd like to enjoy our netflix on the big screen via neoTV. Seems strange that this feature wasn't available to begin with and even stranger that it hasn't been made possible with updates.

regular DVDs can be played and Netflix runs smoothly on it. It does not have Amazon instant on it. But they may add that in a future firmware update (updates get downloaded).

I set the windows battery setting to high/best performance and change SHE to super mode (or whatever the highest is labeled), and it works great (at least for Netflix - I haven't tried ESPN3 yet). Have you tried that? Also, is there an optin for less than 1080HD? Sometimes dialing it back to 780 can help. I routinely stream netflix with my 1215T plugged into my TV to watch movies on and that works flawlessly. I had stuttering problems on my old netbook when I tried this with ESPN3, but I haven't watched ESPN3 on my 1215 yet.

Yes, you can watch Netflix if you already have it installed to your tv. All you need is you username and password for Netflix

You cannot watch Netflix on a NET10 phone because it is part of the Terms and Conditions, you may be able to bring your own phone and watch it over wifi but for me i couldn't watch Netflix even over wifi. Songs can be stored on a micro SD card and listened to from there if you need more space. The phone supports up to a 32 GB micro SD card.

No DVD/CD players in Netbooks One of the reasons they are cheaper[I have 2 and am happy with them but you need an external drive if you want to play games/movies] If that usage is important buy a laptop.

I looked this up because I owned this player but it has been well over a year since I got rid of it. I dont recall being able to use Netflix from the device. A few forums talk about the same issue, however, tech support responds and says there is an option for it. Ultimately, I do remember being disappointed with this player. I would not recommend it.

E. Beesley, I managed to register on the website rather than using the software as I have the same issue. Using a netbook the full screen will not display, meaning you cannot see the 'agree or proceed' or whatever it may be! There are still things I've not managed to see and we therefore cannot access. I'm extremely disappointed. Working scrollbars are surely not too much to expect?

Hi Kevin, no, I figured because I never really do serious work on it, I wasn't going to bother. As long as Netflix instantwatch works with the original ram, as well as other streaming sites like cbsnews.com, I won't worry about it. And it streams perfectly on it.

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

Yes, and no.. Most netbooks do not have an integral DVD drive built into them, so if you wish to use this on a netbook, you'll need to have a USB-connectable DVD drive available and a working USB port in the netbook to connect it through. Please also make sure your netbook is capable of booting to a USB-DVD drive.

I don't know about Netflix , didn't have it long enough to try it. But I did support adobe flash but it was really lagging and slow for me so I returned it.

Probably not. Cheaper netbooks tend to have under powered USB for what is needed by an optical device. Even if USB would support drive, you will also need viewing software to play video (codec for decoding video, and enough memory for buffering from device) I was unable to find any "free software" that would worked worked with Android 2.2 for viewing videos

No because it doesn't hook up to the internet and you need a new computer that has Netflix on it!! Sorry

All streaming video that I have tried so far works great but I do not have a Netflix account so I can not answer from personal experience as it is entirely possible that they may have a "block" on the output. It works fine with Crackle, Hulu, DroidTv(PVR), YouTube, and iMediaShare.
