Netflix How is the netflix app for this tv? Is it only the instant queue that is available for viewing or can you search through all titles right on the tv?

I am not on cable tv, but I have highspeed wireless internet to my computer. I want to stream netflix from my computer wireless/router to my tv in the bedroom. Does this tv's wireless receiver account for all the harware I would need to do this?

First of all, you can type and search titles with the TV...you have to use the remote of course. We use our tv to stream netflix. It picks up our wireless single from our living room in our bedroom. It's been really awesome and we don't have cable either. If you have a netflix subscription and a wireless internet connection you should not need any extra hardware with this tv. :-)

You cannot search by typing in a title, but it shows you your Instant Queue, your Recently Viewed, as well as 15 or so other categories such as Comedies, Drama, Kids and Family, etc. Also, let's say that you recently watched Top Gun. It will say "Movies like: Top Gun" and then give several similar movies to Top Gun. That's a nice feature if you have, for example, a kid addicted to Thomas the Tank Engine. Watch one Thomas movie, and then it will group all of them together for you.

The Closed Captions does not work with Netflix on this TV. I have to hook my Wii, or another streaming device up, to get the Captions. Also, the HULU Streaming App stopping working. NOT good for a Streaming device. Best to buy one separately.

if you have a account, just download the netflix free app and log in. Also if you have a HDMI input on your TV Google Chromecast is a good investment as you can stream to the tv and use the tab as your remote

I dont know, I just browse the player menus and I didn't find any option for netflix, write to tech support asking about it, they answer verry fast.

I don't see Netflix advertising that, you have a link? I think it's only on the larger tv's (or maybe just the plasmas) http://www.netflix.com/NetflixReadyDevicesDetails?trkid=-123456&lnkctr=nrd-d-n-240-sonybravialcdhdtvsfeaturingbraviainternetvideo&pdid=240&lnkce=nrd-d

It isn't pre-loaded on the tv. I play Amazon Instant and Netflix on the tv through my PS3.

I have no problem getting Netflix. It is the best device that I have used to get Netflix other than my pc and it is easier to use.

I'm doing a trial of Prime, and I'm afraid if the streaming won't work, there's little point in actually signing up - Netflix will have to do for now. I think Prime has some great content, but I'm not keen on camping in front of my PC to watch the movies - much rather be able to watch over the game console on the actual TV. Too bad - it's a great price, even compared to Netflix, but steep for the limited capabilities.

David, I wasn't clear. I am already a Netflix member. I am able to see a Netflix movie on my tv screen, but I must first browse and order it from the Netflix website on a computer. Then I can see what movies are in my instant queue on the tv screen. I then click it and the movie is played on the tv.Contrast this with the VOD Amazon service: I can browse and order from the tv screen, which is alot more convenient than using a computer. I also hear that the Roku interface allows one to browse and order Netflix movies from the TV screen.So I was wondering if anyone knew if this inconvenience will some day be remedied by Panasonic via enhanced software?

It has Netflix, but it rarely works. It constantly gives an error message. I now have a Samsung and I highly recommend that brand. LG's customer service is terrible too. I basically have a brand new, useless LG player.

Great TV but it is not a Smart TV...you could maybe stream to the tv from another source such as a Blue Ray that can stream Netflix but not sure about Amazon. In my case my main TV is a smart tv so I am not concerned about the small tv not being able to do that....hope this helps

Watching netflix, the playback is choppy. It is as if the hardware can't keep up. It isn't our internet, we watch netflix on a variety of WiFi devices in this house and it works great on all of them. Everything is updated, I have not been able to resolve it. I'm very disappointed.

Yay for the info on the Wii having Netflix! Thanks for sharing. Now I can get this product knowing Netflix will soon be available to me in another way :) I'm excited based on the reviews of this. I previously tried a Samsung Blu-Ray and all I can say is I will never buy Samsung for anything ever again.

Hi Susan: In response to your question the answer is Yes! when you turn on the unit the main screen appears, Netflix and Amazon instant video is on the bottom. Just click on, sign in, and away you go.

Netflix has a button on the remote. But both apps are accessible under the "menu" button. You need to select "apps" from the menu screen (it's next to DVR). Also, you need to ensure that your TV is somehow connected to your home network (wired or wireless). Also I recommend downloading the system update for the TV. Some apps weren't available to me until I updated the TV.

Netflix?yes. Amazon Prime? not sure. Haven't gone thru all of it yet. It's a lot to leaf through.

It seems to depend in part on your internet connection. When my connection is functioning well I have been very pleased with the quality of my Netflix movies on this TV. I have had this TV for almost a month and I really like it.

The TV has Apps, Internet access, YouTube, etc... It's really great. Love watching Netflix on it. This TV is really great.
