Will the S560 play streaming Netflix movies? Will the Sony S560 play streaming Netflix movies?

Some of the streaming video IS HD. There seems to be no correlation between whether a movie is offered in Blu-ray (HD) via the mail & whether it is offered in HD via streaming (i.e. I have seen movies that were not offered in Blu-ray format that are available in HD streaming & vice-versa).

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 -

No, it won't. I use the Samsung BDP 1600 with a lan cable to stream netflix.

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.

Sony signed a contract with Netflix this summer to stream movies "this fall" thru their LCD television models XBR9, Z, and W. As an XBR9 owner, I am waiting for this event. There was no mention of streaming thru their blu-rays but I assume that will follow.

Thank you for posting, of course. But I don't put a whole lot of stock in that transcript. Since the PS3 has Netflix Streaming using the BD-Live technology provided also on the S560, I tried using the PS3 Instant Streaming disc. It *almost* worked. Apparently, the S560 does not have a date/time setting, which is required by the Netflix DRM algorithm. After much testing, I believe that is the only stumbling block to getting Netflix Streaming to work on the S560.So, yes, the S560 as is does not support Netflix Streaming, but those of you who think it can't, may not realize how easy it would be to make it so.

I just chatted online with a Sony tech rep who said that the BDPS560 does *not* "stream the videos from online", and said that "feature is available with the BDPN460 only".

Robbie....Thanks for the wealth of discussion on the S560 I am another dope who thought he would get Netflix streaming only to find out the it was only available on the S460.. then my son in law called a few mins ago and said the tech that had just set up his HD TV and PS3 said he needed the disk from Netflix before he can receive netflix. He then said I should use the disk to set up the S560 .... now I can tell him the it "almost works" but needs a date/time config........any more ideas guys?

You can play any dvd on it including the netflix ones. But no it does not stream digital content from netflix. You need roku for that.

This is only going to work if enough people demand it. If you know anyone that has a BDP-S350, they need to contact Sony Customer Relations and aks when it will wupport Netflix streaming. Get anyone you can to call them.http://esupport.sony.com/US/perl/contact-relation.pl?Phone Number: 1-239-768-7547 (U.S. only)Hours: Mon-Fri 9:00AM-10:00PM / Sat-Sun 10:30AM-7:15PM ET

It does but it isn't hi-def, if you want to run Netflix get a Roku streaming stick. Hi-definition, only $50 and runs much quicker than this piece of junk.

No it can't stream Netflix by itself, however you can use a roku, apple tv, etc to do that.

As far as I know you should be able to stream Netflix with this player, it works on a Philips blue ray player with no problem.

Hello Caryn,This 32" Samsung does not stream Netflix movies. You would need a Blu-ray player that does or some other device. I use a Roku and I am very happy with it, especially since they added Pandora and Flickr last week. I'm not sure about your green screen question.

Hi Ward Swift,We can assure that this player has netflix however other applications may differ during the updates and the streaming capability of this player will work on built-in applications only. Thanks. >Joffrey

regular DVDs can be played and Netflix runs smoothly on it. It does not have Amazon instant on it. But they may add that in a future firmware update (updates get downloaded).

Samsung's BD-P3600 is apparently a nice enough gadget, which plays Blu-Ray discs and DVDs and streams online content from Netflix,Pandora Internet radio,PC streaming,BD live,and other streaming services as well as Amazon instant movie.

I just returned my unit and got a replacement and the new unit works fine, no problems connecting to netflix. Also, my original unit didn't process the firmware upgrades because the new unit now has blockbuster and you tube on it. So it you have the chance, you might want to take it back for an exchange.

Hi! This Sony home receiver doesn't support streaming of Netflix. It only allows you to stream internet radio such as Pandora, Music Unlimited, Slacker and vTuner. -Ely

thanks for your question but it will not stream Netflix it doesn't even have it on the there. it is very limited it does have youtube and Shoutcast radio and there hasn't been any update for a long time so maybe it might get it but i doubt it will get it it is a very good media player for any video you get from the web it will play it. it will not play web m video though but all the other common video it will play but if your looking for Netflix or the other services look elsewhere hope this helps you out

It is an older model now but it has Vudu, CinemaNow and Netflix. I have Netflix and it works fine but sometimes it takes it's sweet time to connect.

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.
