do media extenders work with netflix streaming video? I'm deciding between a roku device and a media extender-- several say they work with online video, can anyone confirm if media extenders work well with netflix?

If you are mainly interested in Netflix, my vote would be to go with the Roku. I got a Linksys dma2100 and I still cannot get the vmcNetFlix plugin to work to watch Netflix through the Media Center software. Plus I was hoping to stream Hulu.com through Media Center and cannot do that either. My plan at this point is to just find an older XP tower and set it next to the TV. This way I am free to choose Netflix, Amazon, Hulu, Boxee, etc. I will probably hang on to my extender to see whether there will be more options for it over the next year.

Yes, I have two Roku-Hd units and an Xbox 360. All share and stream from the same Netflix account flawlessly.

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.

I have Netflix, the CC are a function of Amazon. If no one here answers how to do it your best bet is to call Amazon tech support. CC works fine with Netflix.

Will work on CRT TV so long as it has the 3 RCA inputs at back of tv. Will work on 4 & 3GS (don't know about 4s, but I'm thinking it should). Will ONLY play video. Will not play MP3s, Pandora or display jpegs. It WILL play Youtube videos (we use it for this all the time), and it will play recorded iphone videos (although a portion of the video is chopped off). Don't know about Netflix, but it should work w/ Netflix as per feedback from other buyers of this cable.

Yeah - in the recent redesign of the website there is no longer any mention or screenshot of Netflix support. I can only imagine this means it has been dropped. (If not, they need to fire their marketing manager for not putting Netflix front and center on the website.) This is a real disappointment. I read a rumor that Xbox has an exclusive for embedded players - thus the need for discs on PS3 and Wii. Not sure if that is true, but it could explain the situation here. Roku was likely an exception.

Yes, there is a Netflix app and I'm watching a streaming movie as I write this. Works best with earphones, I use a bluetooth pair.

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.

As with any router it will work with streaming video, but this is NOT a very good extender. My previous reviews put this extender as junk as it really doesn't extend very far.

No!This device only plays movies you have on your computer, You transfer movies, Photos and music to a flash dirve and can watch them on your TV or projector. It is not a set top box like Roku. Check out set top boxes for streaming movies and internet channels. Also some DVD players have access to Netflix, check it out.

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

It has worked fine for me, steaming Netflix and various video files. I haven't pushed it at very high data rates, though. Jim

Chris Martin is wrong. I downloaded the apk of the latest version of Netflix and manually installed it. I can log in and browse and update my queue. But it fails to connect to the server when I try to stream anything. I presume this is some device check thing. But I don't think anyone has hacked this out of the latest version of the app since it works on all Froyo and Gingerbread devices.

Netflix, Xfinity, amazon prime all work fine for me. Probably the other people have network issues and not the devices fault. I also play tons of different video types using my local network. (using Es File Explorer)
