Netflix Streaming Can anyone who has this or other Netflix-capable players give me a ballpark figure for how much of it is in HD? For the non-HD how does it look? Is there surround sound from Netflix?

Wireless bridges are expensive. I am using a Rosewell EasyN400 as a repeater to my WRT160N with the LG BD370 connected to the Roswell's LAN port. Roswell is 150N capable. So in repeater mode i am getting an effective speed of 75Mbps which works great for me.

The LG370 model does not have built-in Wi-Fi capability. You would need to use a Wi-Fi bridge. The LG390 does have built-in Wi-Fi - if you want to pay the extra money.

Sorry if this question seems stupid but could anyone tell me if this model has Wi-Fi capability?

I'm doing a trial of Prime, and I'm afraid if the streaming won't work, there's little point in actually signing up - Netflix will have to do for now. I think Prime has some great content, but I'm not keen on camping in front of my PC to watch the movies - much rather be able to watch over the game console on the actual TV. Too bad - it's a great price, even compared to Netflix, but steep for the limited capabilities.

I don't see Netflix advertising that, you have a link? I think it's only on the larger tv's (or maybe just the plasmas) http://www.netflix.com/NetflixReadyDevicesDetails?trkid=-123456&lnkctr=nrd-d-n-240-sonybravialcdhdtvsfeaturingbraviainternetvideo&pdid=240&lnkce=nrd-d

The picture quality on Netflix is lower with Roku2 than with the original Roku. I have a 720p TV, so I got the Roku2 basic. Terrible picture. Since my original Roku was XD, I figured that had something to do with it, so I returned my Roku2 and upgraded to a Roku2 HD. Picture quality is still poor compared to the Roku XD.

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.

Try updating to the latest firmware first. Mine never buffers that I have noticed and I am able to watch netflix in super hd through a blu ray player. I have Cox cable.

Streaming the netflix isnt the greatest though. I have had good luck with my wireless internet connection through my playstation 3, but the selection on netflix is horrible. It doesn't do me any good to have the entire setup when I can only download about 5% of the netflix inventory. For example, of the netflix top 100 movies, you can only stream 6 of those movies to your TV. The other 94 movies are available to be shipped on DVD, but not the direct stream to your TV. The concept of direct streaming is misleading, just giving you a heads up!!!

I don't have a slow Netflix problem, but I do have a "flashing black screen" problem. This appears as an occasional flickering or a short blackout. Otherwise, the streaming is the best I have seen so far.

Isnt that a shame? so you're saying that it will look grainy on any blue ray player? I wouldve thought any encoding problem wouldve been fixed by now, i mean 300 just came out on blue ray.Do stores offer refunds or something? Have you tried a different blue ray? or a different TV? Im going to take mine to my friends house and test it on his LCD TV.thxThank you.

I guess my question is: will this blue-ray player, play regular dvds, as well as others? I'm not that big into the movie scene, but it would be nice to watch my reuglar dvds, in HD quality. I do have an 1080p HDTV with all the works if that helps...please...I don't need a top of the line, just a decent blue-ray player..thanks! Note: I don't do streaming & special downlaods for movies, I just need something simple to use, yet that is good quality. I'm not a techno-person!

Apparently they have upgraded to what they call "near HD"... 1280x540. I would like to know if anyone has actually seen this on a decent size 1080p screen, and how it looks. Also, can it pass 5.1 sound?

Thanks AM for your reply!Agree, with all Netflix APP that I have installed, only can see the list of films and my query, but I had been unable to stream nothing and always gets the same error message!!

Amazon instant videos? I'm 62 and still trying to figure out how to stream Netflix. (I have, by the way!) Better check with someone else. Good luck!

Todd H. H. I get excellent streaming quality from Netflix. I use a direct ethernet connection, with ROKU HD. Depends on the movie. Dead Like Me, the movie, had excellent PQ. From what I understand, Netflix has 100,000 titles, and 10,000 are available for streaming. I can get by.

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.

Not sure what your error is, just got mine today and did an update. netflix was fine. I got netflix to work on my old ps3, wii and now this. Setup is awkward where you have to get info from your blu-ray player and look onto the computer, back and forth, but I got it done and it works fine. The PS3 layout is way better, you can search for movie, here all you get is what is in your queue.
