1000 Thanks for this information A.M.!!I Just installed this new Netflix APP (released today Nov-19) on my Sony S Tablet and it works flawlessly!!!

An update to Netflix was just released that works on all Android 3.x devices including the Sony Tablet S.

Yes this is indeed true but it is not a Tablet S issue as it is an issue with Netflix writing an app that runs on Honeycomb. At the moment Netflix is not available in the Android marketplace for ANY manufacturer's tablet running the latest Android OS (Honeycomb). Let's hope they get on the ball with this.

What's the story with this? We'd like to enjoy our netflix on the big screen via neoTV. Seems strange that this feature wasn't available to begin with and even stranger that it hasn't been made possible with updates.

Should be able to do that. I worked in Panama (PTY) through early 2014 and at first Netflix was not available but starting 2012 Netflix came online. I say yes. Go for it. Excellent device. Love it's slingplayer preloaded app.

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

For some reason very bizzare reason, the 2011 models do not support Amazon Instant Video. If you look at the history of questions on this device, or Google for information, you'll find quite a few frustrated with this. You can't get it as a "Yahoo Widget" (2009-2010 models only) and the Samsung App is only available on 2012 models and later. I was just looking for it today out of curiosity (I was updating the PLEX app) and was sad to see it isn't there. I have many other options, but it does seem obnoxious that they can't fix this minor detail, when Netflix and other Samsung Apps seem to work fine on this TV.http://www.amazon.com/gp/video/ontv/devices#Television For some reason very bizzare reason, the 2011 models do not support Amazon Instant Video.

I just ordered one through Amazon, from Vanns. It is discontinued, but with Sony, I have no worry about their ongoing support. I went to the Sony Style store here in San Diego, but they don't know when a replacement may come out. I'm guessing that it will include some 3D options and maybe wifi for online Netflixs and such.

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.

You can get the Netflix app, if you subscribe to it, but other than that, the tablet doesn't always play videos in the browser.You can use the AdBlock app on this one. I've done it, and it works okay.

the new update doesn't include Netflix(updated my player lastnight BD.4.874.00) it's very clear on amazon,and LG site.nothing mentioned about Netflix. 550 and up models do. from LG rep " We actually had models before this one that have Pandora. At this price point we are limited on the apps we can add due to hardware, license fees, etc. We never said this model has or will have Pandora,netflix" plus if u check netcast it does say "features vary by model and category"

I have a Samsung LN46C670 and it has Netflix as one of the apps. However, after going back and forth between Samsung and Netflix, I found out that Netflix has not written an app that is compatible with the LN46C670 for captions and several other Samsung models and they have no plans to write one. I bought this tv because it has a great pictue AND that it has the Netflix app. My wife is hearing impaired and requires the captions to watch any tv shows. Have I spent around $1000 for nothing? Netflix, when are you going to support all devices with the Netflix app? Why would you write an app for a device and not provides updates to adequately use it?

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.

I don't quite understand why it doesn't have Netflix since the amazon site shows it has the "Netcast Entertainment Access"....which carries Netflix. I'm technical and can't find answers - no wonder everyone keeps buying and doesn't understand why it doesn't have Netflix. Would everyone stop slamming these people and calling them stupid. (by everyone, I mean those that have commented on reviews, not mj28)Has anyone tried to download a firmware update on this player (on lg website there are several updates) and see if netcast entertainment access would now have netflix?I get it if it truly doesn't have it - but for some of us, the advertisement on this page vs. LG page is different.

I just got a PS3 and the streaming Netflix feature is only by way of inserting a Disc provided from Netflix which uses BD live to stream the content (from what I've read). It may be specific to the PS3, but it would be worth it to pop that disc into the Sony S560 and see if it can do it the same way. This disc is free from Netflix to customers by requesting one at www.netflix.com/PS3Someone try it out and post back here. If it works, I would consider getting this unit for the bedroom.

You can watch Netflix if you can get the device to work. I bought 3 of them and returned all 3 the very next day. They reboot nonstop and could not do anything with this device. I would not recommend this device. I bought the Artchros tablets and have no problems so far, they are also 9 inches and comes with the Google play store preinstalled and yes Netflix works great in it too.

I don't think you're missing anything. The reason why I purchased Netflix is the CC feature. I wrote to Amazon about their lack of CC capabilities a year or so ago and all I received was a confirmation that CC was not available. This is unconscionable. There is a new law, however, that is going to require all electronic video devices to include CC by the year 2015. Hopefully, Amazon rectifies this glaring flaw before then.
