Does this work with Netflix? Or only with WMC? Please specify what it can control in a pc with Windows 7.Thanks for your help.

mouse works,pause & play with OK button,volume & mute buttons work.(if you use windows media center all or most of the buttons work netflix,tv tuner, dvd)

Yes, up, down, left, right, enter, vol +/-... everything you need to navigate Netflix works.
290603
Well nvm now every windows media center has netflix option pre-installed. Pretty cool but i guess they will not allow you to download movies for a temporary while :(

Wayne,I apologize for the delay in responding to your post. It is very helpful. Thanks!

Yes you can. I just setup mine last night, netflix is available in media center, you just need to sign in. Make sure you have silverlight installed from microsoft, or it won't work.

Never tried streaming Netflix with it. I only used it as a movie player. I could never find a wifi connection with this. I now use a Asus Nexus for almost everything when away from the laptop. The KLU is confusing, slow, freezes all the time...

The viewing and control is through a web browser so it shouldn't matter what platform you are using. I try it on firefox/IE on windows and it works just fine.

Well, yes and no, Officially they do not support it but in reality it does work to view content but the user interface doesn't work due to Windows 8 changing how they communicate with the host PC. In order to use it on Windows 8 and control what you are watching you need to use their remote application, essentially you remotely control that PC/extender.

Mine works great for Netflix, don't use it for much anything else unless I'm bored or curious to see what else is online to watch. For an older unit it still hangs in there with some newer models and plays just about anything, I use the PS3 media server to stream movies that wouldn't otherwise play thru smart media or usb. I haven't seen any updates for the firmware since I got mine, but that may not be unusual since I haven't seen any problems other than some codecs that don't play unless streaming them from a PC.

Yes, this unit comes with a remote control and connect to Netflix when connected with an Ethernet cable to your local network or it can work wirelessly with the DYWL5 wireless dongle. http://shop.panasonic.com/docs/how-to/2013/video/2013_BDP_How_to_Log_In_and_Search_on_Netflix.htmlhttp://shop.panasonic.com/docs/how-to/2013/video/DMPBD79_Blu-ray_How_to_Connect_to_Your_Wireless_Network.html

Jim, could you send me a link to where you read this information? I checked Sony's website and could not find anything mentioning netflix streaming on this device. Thanks -

While i had mine I didn't use for movies. But to my understanding Netflix will not work. It was an awesome tablet otherwise. Hope this helped.

I used to have this device and it's very good for the price, I played 1080p movies without issues, netflix and such. I have also used VLC to play video and music files from a shared drive on a PC, I understand it's not the same as streaming movies from a NAS, however I do think VLC has that capability, so I don't see why it would not work.

you can control Windows system volume but the play, fast forward, rewind,etc buttons won't work. but the remote had a mouse so you can move the cursor. I've found a wireless keyboard with a track pad to be more useful for Netflix and Hulu - Logitech k400r. this remote is best used in Windows media center

If you have Netflix you can stream movies. Another way is to use the desktop to download then transfer it to a micro SD to watch. Works great on video.

Hate to tell you this Jim, but if you look up the manual on line it will tell you it is not programmable. My guess it only works if you have a Panasonic TV. If it works with any other TV you just got lucky. We have a Samsung and we have to use our Samsun remote to control the volume. I was just happy we could get a factory replacement to watch Netflix through it. Hope this helps

I don't know about Netflix , didn't have it long enough to try it. But I did support adobe flash but it was really lagging and slow for me so I returned it.

Ok, this is the deal. If you buy this more expensive OLDER version it WILL do netflix. The NEWER version WD TV for less money does NOT play Netflix. Very crazy and stupid.

Yes! It's a little clunky to use this remote as a wireless mouse...but it works. The volume buttons on the remote do control the PC's main volume. Most standalone media programs (Windows Media Center/Player, etc) work with remote's stop/play/pause buttons...but Netflix on a web browser does not. There may be a way to map those buttons to keyboard shortcuts for the Netflx web player...but I haven't tried it.

Does anything else work on the D-link? I'm sure it's not a Netflix problem, it's either an issue with your internet (but probably not since it works on your computer, which I'm assuming is on the same source of internet), or its a problem with your hardware.
