Netflix with d8000: Has anyone else had trouble getting netflix to connect?
191581
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.

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

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.

Did you ever find a solution? I have uploaded the latest firmware and played around with the IP addresses etc. all to no avail. Blockbuster, Pandora and Firmware updates load but not Netflix.Phil Smith

As of right now firmware version 1.51 is available, and netflix appears to be working again. I didn't test anything else, so proceed with caution.

I could get mine to connect but continued getting error messages when I tried to access Netflix even though the Netflix site came up. So, I called emailed them and none of the fixes worked. If I were you I would return it and either purchase a Blue Ray player with wireless capabilities or get a Roku. I have a Sony Blue RFay wireless player and it works great. I paid $100 for it. I also have a Sony for the TV in my computer room and it is wired to my router via ethernet cable and it works great. The Rikomagic is a great idea if it would just work.

Mine works fine and I do get HD. It has an issue with Netflix and does not play a selected Netflix video through its own device. My TV also has chrome cast on it and so the chrome cast option icon comes up while on the UG007B and when that icon is selected the Netflix video selected on the UG007B plays in perfect 1080P through the chrome cast.

The wireless never worked on mine so I couldn't get Netflix. I returned it.

I have this device and the Logitech revue as well. The problem you mention above was not an issue with either set-top box but with Netflix. I had the same error as well a few days ago but was gone after a few minutes.

I've tried 3 different discs from Netflix and all with the same result - nothing! A new update disc from Sony arrived today so I'll see if that helps.

NO. You cannot access Netflix or create a link that will work. I have spent some time on this and the only streaming sites I could reach were mostly the built-in chinese sites. Do not count on the manual either to help you, it is one of the least useful I have seen for such product, documenting the obvious, and silent on the rest.

I encounter the same issue. When I want to use NetFlix, I turn the system off and let it restart, then go to "Settings" to see the "Network Status" which will show the connection you are getting (2 bars, three bars, etc.). I usually get two, sometimes three bars, if lucky). I then go to NetFlix from there and begin to load. There are times when I need to do this 2-3 times, but once I begin a movie, it usually carries through. And yes, great sound.

It does not currently. A firmware fix could be done, I suppose, but supposedly Panasonic has only said that future models will support Netflix.

check to see if you have the latest android upgrade (mine upgraded this past weekend and works fine on Netflix. I know I was receiving messages related to video playback before then - but don't recall if those applied to Netflix.

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
