I don't quite understand why it doesn't have Netflix since the amazon site shows it has the "Netcast Entertainment Access"....which carries Netflix. I'm technical and can't find answers - no wonder everyone keeps buying and doesn't understand why it doesn't have Netflix. Would everyone stop slamming these people and calling them stupid. (by everyone, I mean those that have commented on reviews, not mj28)Has anyone tried to download a firmware update on this player (on lg website there are several updates) and see if netcast entertainment access would now have netflix?I get it if it truly doesn't have it - but for some of us, the advertisement on this page vs. LG page is different.

The LG BD530 has a linux operation system. For those familiar with Linux, Netflix does not currently have linux support. Therefore the player by default, cannot support Netflix. I suppose for those who are technically advanced there could be a way to run a virtual machine on this device, but don't hold your breath on this. Any attempts to do so would surely void your warranty and could brick your machine.

Product information on Amazon site is incorrect. The product box or LG website does NOT list NetCast as a supported feature. Instead what is listed on BD530 product box is "Network Entertainment Access" which is obviously a reduced functionality than "Netcast Entertainment Access", only YouTube, Picasa and AccuWeather applications are supported. LG website lists "Internet Entertainment Access" at http://www.lg.com/us/tv-audio-video/video/LG-blu-ray-dvd-player-BD530.jsp

the new update doesn't include Netflix(updated my player lastnight BD.4.874.00)it's very clear on amazon,and LG site.nothing mentioned about Netflix. 550 and up models do.from LG rep "We actually had models before this one that have Pandora. At this price point we are limited on the apps we can add due to hardware, license fees, etc. We never said this model has or will have Pandora,netflix"plus if u check netcast it does say "features vary by model and category"

I bought the bd 530 at walmart for 65 bucks. For a blu ray player it's worth the price, I can browse you tube and play funny videos. I might not get my netflix, but that's why I have a monitor cable to hook my laptop or pc to the bigscreen. Enjoy the bd 530 it's a great buy.

NO. You cannot access Netflix or create a link that will work. I have spent some time on this and the only streaming sites I could reach were mostly the built-in chinese sites. Do not count on the manual either to help you, it is one of the least useful I have seen for such product, documenting the obvious, and silent on the rest.

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 purchased this through a third-party in conjunction with Amazon and it did come with remote. I do not know about Netflix; I never use it.

Hi! This Sony home receiver doesn't support streaming of Netflix. It only allows you to stream internet radio such as Pandora, Music Unlimited, Slacker and vTuner. -Ely

I am not sure about Netflix. Our sole purpose for this projector is for movies and xbox. It does both very well. We did have to buy an HDMI adaptor cable to connect it to the dvd player.

I use this TV with Xbox, so you can use Netflix as long as you have a console to connect it to (like Xbox or similar)

I am not really sure if it will let you stream Netflix.. But I am thinking it should.

It does, or at least the computer came with a link for Netflix. I have not actually used it, so I cannot say how well it works.

On it's own, this TV does not play Netflix. You need an external device like a PS3, Roku or Apple TV which has Netflix capabilities.

No. It will connect to any blue tooth device, radio, and play dvds, but no streaming movies or Netflix. Honestly tho, I suggest getting a different system. this one sucks. I returned it after only having it a week. its not worth the money or frustration.

Yes, we have been able to stream from netflix but have not tried other sources. I believe it will as long as you have access.

I thought I seen a vid on youtube with a guy watching netflix on the unit. On an android phone though. I have an Iphone W/adapter and I cant get netflix to work. I believe it only will work if your videos or movies our downloaded through I tunes. I have a couple of music vids downloaded from I tunes and they play through the head unit.

No. It doesn't support. And Netflix doesn't work if you are out of USA. Don't buy it. IT SUX.

Netflix does in fact stream to the TV using an iPhone 4. In my initial test of Hulu Plus it did not work. I'll test it again.

I've never tried it with netflix, it controls dvd movies and lets you channel threw the xbox live menu, theres a possibility it could work for netflix

Yes. I have had the evolution kit several months and just tried Netflix so I could answer your question. It worked perfectly on my first attempt. No problems at all. Picture and sound were outstanding.Dave
