will this device allow me to get netflix without the use of a computer. my surround system doesn't have an hdmi port.

No. This device is to connect the older style vga connections, such as those found on older laptops, to an HDMI connector found on newer tv's. I used it to allow me to send the picture on my older laptop (that has a VGA OUT) to my new, larger flat screen (that only has an hdmi input). IF you have netflix on your laptop this device will let you send it via your VGA OUT jack to your HDMI TV.

This device is used strictly for connecting VGA port to hdmi. Surround system, netflix, & hammerhead device not related issues

No, It only works with a VGA port. This device is based upon a VGA port, so you must have a PC or laptop to used this device. Also, even though this device has an AUDIO input. I don't recommend using the AUDIO option for this device. I would only use the device for VIDEO purpose and use the AUDIO from the other device. For example, if I use this device with a PC, I would use the PC's audio instead of the Hammerhead's AUDIO while using the Hammerhead's VIDEO option.

No. To stream wireless to the tv you need to have a tv that can support a wireless usb adapter preferably an N adapter. If your tv supports that then it can supports apps as they say which can be netflix. In all reality its cheaper to buy a used nintendo Wii and stream netflix from there that way if your tv is old you will still be able to get netflix until you upgrade the tv.

No it does not, it is audio only. Similarly this will not natively stream NetflixThe 2800 streams video but has no airplay so no luck there either.

No, the receiver doesn't have an application to support Netflix streaming. It will work with a roku, Apple TV, playstation, etc.

I'm not a Netflix guy, but I believe if you are using your TV to access Netflix via WiFi you need to output the audio to the STR DN850 and select TV as the Input. You can use an Optical Audio Cable to pass the audio signal from your TV to the STR DN850. I do access Pandora from my TV and pass the audio to the STR DN850 and it works for me.Alternatively, if you have another device that can access Netflix (i.e. a Blue Ray Disc player) you could access Netflix via that device and pass the audio/video via HDMI to the DN850 and then the video to the TV. That should work as well.

I don't think this unit had that function. You can connect to Netflix in the setup menu.

Sorry I don't have a NETFLIX account so I can't quite tell you if it works or not.. but I do know that all Netflix needs is a WiFi connection. What I can do tell you is that it streams all kind of videos all you to do is install adobe air and reader stream any video on the web.So not sure by what do people mean when they say it don't stream.

Disk playback works just fine without an Internet connection. I use mine that way most of the time, but the streaming video features that this player also offers, such as Netflix, will require an Internet connection. The disk player detects, through its HDMI connection, if the TV set has been turned off and it will turn itself off. It will also eventually turn itself off if it is not being used, but mine has never turned itself off while I was watching a DVD movie.

It may be that the salesperson is enthusiastically describing a capability that requires more than the TV. I'm not aware of the 750 having that capability -- and any TV can display your Netflix-streamed movies with an external box like this:http://www.productwiki.com/roku-netflix-player/You might want to check in with some 750 users about this capability. I'd be surprised if it's built-in to the TV, but I've been surprised before...

It's a TV. If you have some other device that can play Netflix and connect it to the TV, then yes you'll see Neflix. But without anything to stream netflix, you're SOL. No wifi, no ethernet port, etc.
1558824
Absolutely, this is a great device for movies. If you subscribe to Netflix or hulu or something like that you can stream shows. You can also dowwnload them or copy them from you desktop or laptop to watch when you don't have a good WiFi connection.

You cannot have Netflix on any audio receiver which is what this is. The sound from the TV is the only thing that comes into it so you can listen to it through your speakers. I researched all receivers and none have this feature. The main reason is no receiver has a video processing section in it, it's all audio. What I did is to buy a cheap Bluray player which does have Netflix, Hulu, Amazon's Prime and dozens of other on-line movies to watch. I prefer Amazon's Prime, which for an annual subscription provides the same type of movies, but 1,000% better video and audio quality. BTW, you also must have an internet connection to see any of these services, including Netflix plugged into your Bluray player.

No it requires some type of add on device I suggest a chromecast or blueray player

No. It doesn't... yet. Could be software update to support it later. It does have Netflix.

You cannot.You will need to add a Netflix capable device [Xbox360, BlueRay DVD player--i.e. from LG BD 590 or 570, etc]. You can wireless stream to the device and have the device cabled to the TV via one of the 3 HDMI ports. Works great [I use the LG BD590, but the 570 has the same capability:Netflix, Vudu, etc]. There are cheaper alternatives.

If all you want to do is play DVDs, you shouldn't need cable or an antenna.You may need an internet connection to get the initial software update, but I'm not sure about that. You would also need internet/cable to stream Netflix, etc.
