Thanks Richard! I called Panasonic and they walked me through a re-set. All I had to do then was log in and all was fine! Don't you HATE it when your electronics don't work?

Thanks Richard! I'll try the reboot first. I almost bought a Roku but needed a dvd player so just got that. So I can hook up the Roku and still have the blu ray player while using the Roku for streaming?I appreciate your advice!

This is happening to me too. At first I thought maybe my cable was acting up and the internet was coming in waves not letting me connect, but I could get on vudu, amazon prime and youtube. Nothing has changed for me either so it seems like it's definitely Nexflix's issue and I hope they fix it asap because I don't like paying for a service I can't use.

Netflix stopped working for me. Account somehow deactivated. Logged in online just fine. Can't reactivate because I can't find the activation code. When I go to Netflix on my tv, I get a screen that says "Are you a member?" but it won't let me choose yes or no so I never get any farther than that. Any ideas?Thanks!

TO: "I Can See For Miles"Great! This worked! We'll see how long it lasts. I had tried to reset to factory settings through the menus before your reply, but it didn't work. I didn't realize there was another option (didn't even think to look for another option). Thanks again. And yeah, I recommend setting the automatic updates "off". The last one made me upgrade or else it wouldn't go to Netflix. Thanks again!

I bought mine new right after X-mas, had the same problem (not able to stream Netflix), I did the "reset" as stated above, and logged into my secure router (Netgear Wireless-N 300 Router[WNR2000v2]), and I was able to stream Netflix after that. The night before, I had called EVERYBODY (LG, Netflix, and Netgear) customer support(s), and got nowhere. Netflix was the best though, in enlightening me that I needed to open 2 ports opened for streaming to work. I did that, but no change. The "RESET" worked though, ports 443 and 80. I hope this post casts some light on the problem to someone out there....! Good luck everyone...!

Streaming the netflix isnt the greatest though. I have had good luck with my wireless internet connection through my playstation 3, but the selection on netflix is horrible. It doesn't do me any good to have the entire setup when I can only download about 5% of the netflix inventory. For example, of the netflix top 100 movies, you can only stream 6 of those movies to your TV. The other 94 movies are available to be shipped on DVD, but not the direct stream to your TV. The concept of direct streaming is misleading, just giving you a heads up!!!

"your bd player's netflix keys have been hacked" and it said I could no longer play Netflix movies on my player. So I'm going to just post how I fixed it since the answers were spread out on this thread. I can't say each step is necessary, but it worked. I have the newest firmware.Got same problem. Upgrade firmware and found this solution online that worked for me:1. Deactivated the player at Netflix's website. Under "Your Account" ...2. Hard reset by pressing fast-forward on the player for five seconds with no disc.3. Attempt to play a Netflix movie (red "A" button on main screen).4. Perform the regular activation process for Netflix.5. Reenter Time Zone, Time, etc. settings in player.

WiFi yes. Instructions say it has WiFi. As for streaming netflix, it is supposed to handle that task.I however, do not have an ISP or router. So as far as first hand knowledge, I'm afraid I can't speak from experience.

If you're referring to the problem where the Netflix button on the remote doesn't work, go to Netflix via the Smart Hub. It always works that way for me. If that's not the problem to which you're referring, then I don't know.

Netflix should work by using the Netflix app. For watching YouTube videos, it requires a app called YouPlayer since the actual Youtube app stopped working with the 30 pin cable since iOS6 update.

I was having the same problem...but it was not related to the streaming at all. Mine would freeze up while I was watching a DVD. If I tried to go to the main menu for the player or if I paused a DVD too long, it would freeze up and do the "see you" thing. I noticed that everytime it did this, it seemed like it was trying to connect to the internet. I went into the settings and disabled the setting where it downloads extra content while watching BluRay and this fixed my problem. Now I can pause and navigate the menus and haven't gotten the "see you" thing at all. Hope this helps. I was having the same problem...but it was not related to the streaming at all.

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 just tried streaming (wired connection) with Sony BDP-BX37 and Sony BDP-BX57. Installed latest update on both. After a few minutes of streaming it pauses, gets into the "Loading, Please wait..." mode and doesn't resume at all after that. My internet provider was on the line running tests when it happens and didn't see any problem from his side. It happens not only with Netflix but with YouTube as well. I can stream fine from my PC, or from my Sony XBR9 TV. I am sure there is a major flaw in the firmware of the Sony BDPs. Maybe they don't work well with certain routers. I have a D-Link 624.

TR has already answered this and then some. We usually have Netflix disconnect itself a few times a month while other video streaming apps work fine without logging us out. I honestly think it may just be something with Netflix and not Samsung. I DO wish someone would update the app though because I see friends with older TVs or cheap little Rokus that have better UI for Netflix.

Okay, I know it sounds crazy, but this is what worked for me on my Panasonic Blu-Ray player. Maybe it'll work on a TV too. I was having the same problem. All of a sudden, Netflix stopped working after months of wonderful streaming. Nothing would work. The I found this somewhere online - you need to deactivate your netflix account on the blu-ray player. To get to this option: after you get your error message, instead of "try again" or "back" do this: on your remote hit: Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, Up, Up, Up, Up. I kid you not. It takes you to the deactivate screen. Hit deactivate. You might have to do it once or twice (I had to do it twice). Then I was prompted to re-login to my Netflix account, and then it worked again! I know it sounds ridiculous, but apparently the programmers at Netflix have a sense of humor...

Try updating to the latest firmware first. Mine never buffers that I have noticed and I am able to watch netflix in super hd through a blu ray player. I have Cox cable.

Our Panasonic BD220 stopped connecting to Netflix about two days ago. It hasn't resolved itself yet. Network connection seems to be good and I can stream other material (like youtube). Really frustrating. Only had the unit for about two months. Don't have time for dealing with Tech support right now though. Anyone else having weird spontaneous issues like this currently? (June 10, 2012).

Ive had some issues with connecting this model to the internet, and i think other people have as well, "I'm not exactly sure if it even is WIFI capable." It only has a network cable port in the back. though i believe i did get the network cable to work. but when i downloaded Netflix, and went to go use Netflix it didn't work, so i just use my Ps3, Xbox, or blue-ray player, to stream stuff. sorry i cant answer your question, but i figured i would post you my the problems i have had. good luck.

Yes, it used to. However recently I have been having problems with error messages about my network saying it couldn't reach Netflix. It doesn't make any sense as my network is solid and I've tried Wifi and a USB wired LAN interface without any change in the errors. Everything else works fine including my Nexus 7, which never has problems with Netflix. --So really I think Netflix has made changes in the latest version that cause errors.
