Hit menu. Go to setup, I think the bottom icon, then network settings, then IP address/DNS settings.Then turn DNS off automatic and switch it.

This also fixed my TC-P55GT31's problem with no selection cursor on the viera connect menu!

ok, i fixed the issue, I had to change the DNS to 8.8.8.8, automatic DNS did not work. After that Netflix, funny thing is that Hulu worked with or without this setting.

I was having a problem activating the code given by my TV and changed the DNS serttings to all 8's. Mine is a TC-P55GT31 but it worked! Thanks Lord Jezo

Changing the DNS to 8.8.8.8 did it for me. They should put this on the Panasonic and Netflix's FAQ pages works on the TC-L55E50 55in 1080p 120Hz Full HD IPS LED-LCD TV as well

Go to smart tv settings and deactivate the netflix account and then try to log in again. It solves the problem for us.

With the last software update I have had trouble with logging in, it takes loading it 3 times for it to connect. No issues lately with Netflix

The only connection/app that I see is for Netflix. Other than that, I would say No!

Hey. I replied to your post in the other thread but I'll write you here in case you don't see it. You have to go into Options and then press Initialize (to reset the system to factory settings). This gets rid of the bug. It showed up on an older firmware and seems to stay around until you do this. I have heard that it also works if you click 'Deactivate Netflix' and then re-activate it, but it's better to be safe by resetting the unit to the factory settings in case there were some other bugs that could be removed to. Hell, you might as well do both just to be really sure. Deactivate Netflix, and then Initialize Settings. Hey.

I am having the same Netflix streaming problem: video is constantly stopping and starting (buffering). It seems to work better once it has been playing for a while but the first 10-15 minutes are unwatchable. I switched back to my old crappy Insignia player (which won't play discs anymore) to see if it was a network issue. Nope, it's the Panasonic player. Returning it before my 30 days are up.

This is a common problem with the Samsung TV's, there are posts all over the internet about it. Fixes range from resetting the Smart Hub software to resetting the TV to factory defaults to having the mainboard in the TV replaced. I tried everything I could find (except having the mainboard replaced) and none of them worked. After hours of trying to figure out why HBOgo would work and not Netflix, I tried placing my TV's IP address in the DMZ of my router. Much to my surprise, this worked. I didn't want to leave it there, so I looked for updates to my router firmware. After updating the router firmware, I was able to take the TV out of the DMZ and Netflix continued to function. Apparently the Samsung Netflix app uses some sort of network traffic the old firmware didn't support. Before updating the router, Netflix streamed fine to my PC, Boxee Box and DVD player, but not to the TV...so I know it has to be an issue with the newer app... The Netflix setup is my only complaint about this TV, with how long Netflix has been around, you wouldn't think this would be an issue anymore.

Kate, It would be helpful to know which account you are talking about - Amazon? Hulu? Netflix? I'll assume you're using Netflix. When your Roku was first connected to your TV, someone had to enter your password information in order to connect to and use Netflix. I'm guessing someone else did this for you. This information is now stored in the Roku and you are automatically connected to your Netflix account when you turn on the Roku and click on the Netflix icon. Unfortunately, anyone who knows your password can go to the Netflix site on the internet, log on with your information, and watch instant streaming on their own PC, laptop, Roku, or whatever, anywhere at any time. Those "two videos playing simultaneously" on your account means that there are most certainly other people using your Netflix account. I suggest you speak to whoever helped you set up your Roku, or anyone else who has access to your password. If you are paying for the Netflix account, you have the option to contact Netflix and ask them to help you set up a new account with new password info. Perhaps you can even get them to walk you through entering the new information into your Roku, if you need help with that. Good luck, Kate. Sincerely, Kathy

I have also been having problems with my roku player. My boyfriend got it for me for christmas and it constantly cuts off my shows. I have tried restarting it and my network with no success. I have had this issue with Netflix, and crackle. My Netflix on my computer and my phone works fine wirelessly but the roku acts up all the time. I can't remember the last time I watched a show or movie for more than 10 minutes before I was kicked off back to my menu screen. I will try plugging in the ethernet directly and see if that works, but I am very disappointed and I feel chagrined for my boyfriend that this Christmas gift is essentially kaput! Any other ideas please let me know! I have also been having problems with my roku player. My boyfriend got it for me for christmas and it constantly cuts off my shows.

I was not able to keep the device working long enough to find out. I was able to register it and connect to NetFlix. I strongly recommend you consider another blu-ray device.

I just bought this same model. Very nice. very easy. make sure the tvis connected to the internet. have your computer standing by and have netflix open and logged in. press the viera cast button on the remote and open netflix, it should promt and give you a code. on your computer, click "my account & help" (upper right). scroll down to "watching instantly on your tv or computer" find the link "actvate a netflix ready device" and open it. it will ask you to enter the code you were given by your tv. enter and setup will proceed automatically. enjoy.

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.

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).

I looked this up because I owned this player but it has been well over a year since I got rid of it. I dont recall being able to use Netflix from the device. A few forums talk about the same issue, however, tech support responds and says there is an option for it. Ultimately, I do remember being disappointed with this player. I would not recommend it.

In regard to answer from shizzyvill, before you decide to use the connection suggestion, we had only one working HDMI input that is working on our Samsung LN42B360 which we discovered too late to use the warranty for replacement. We ordered the Dvds from Netflix.

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.
