I believe it does however over all my experience with the d-link dsm -310 movienite has been bad. It is a purchase I have regretted from day one. It is very glitchy and only allows you to use the very limited selection of channels that itis preloaded with. Overall iI would be disappointed if the purchase price was 1/3rd what I paid.

We have profiles set up for my mother, my sister, and me. When we turn on the box and pick Netflix, the first thing we do is select a profile.

David, I wasn't clear. I am already a Netflix member. I am able to see a Netflix movie on my tv screen, but I must first browse and order it from the Netflix website on a computer. Then I can see what movies are in my instant queue on the tv screen. I then click it and the movie is played on the tv.Contrast this with the VOD Amazon service: I can browse and order from the tv screen, which is alot more convenient than using a computer. I also hear that the Roku interface allows one to browse and order Netflix movies from the TV screen.So I was wondering if anyone knew if this inconvenience will some day be remedied by Panasonic via enhanced software?

This unit did not work for me at all, and neither did ROKU. I now have an RCA streaming box on both tvs and a subscription to Netflix. You will need a very fast internet connection with any device; we have cable internet and have discontinued the cable tv service. Between Netflix and YouTube, you can get almost anything. Live tv is available on the internet, though I rarely watch it. If you buy a 'smart tv,' you don't need any of this stuff, except you still probably the high speed internet connection. I really wanted the Sungale unit to work; it just could not deliver for me.

Don't know about Netflix, never tried. But Amazon prime will not work unless you are using a kindle tablet or other Amazon instant video compatible devices like Xbox 360, PS3, Roku. Will tell you that this is really a piece of junk, horrible battery life and I have had to reset it several times because it stops working. For some reason Drop Box will not work on it either and I have that on everyone of my other mobile devices and computers. Good luck.

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.

Yes. You have to plug the Roku stick into the correct port on the back of the TV. Then you have to turn the TV on and set up the stick. This includes registering your Roku online and connecting to your wi-fi network. After all of that, you can add and use the Netflix and YouTube apps. I have used both.

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 don't think this unit had that function. You can connect to Netflix in the setup menu.

It works for me (it skips and loses volume but I think that is specific to my player). Assuming you have a network connection (Network menu, connection status), after selecting Netflix it should come up to your sign-in screen. If that does not happen, maybe the sign-in info is bad--possibly left over from previous owner if the unit is refurb (unit I bought was refurb even though listed on web site as new). Have you tried resetting the player? I think there is a reset option on the Other menu.

Netflix stopped working for me. Account somehow deactivated. Logged in online just fine. Can't reactivate because I can't find the activation code. When I go to Netflix on my tv, I get a screen that says "Are you a member?" but it won't let me choose yes or no so I never get any farther than that. Any ideas?Thanks!

No problem. I signed up for the Netflix trial and streamed a few things last night. It looked great!

You simply add the Netflix "channel" from the main Roku home interface. Then select it and enter your Netflix username and password. Works well.

On the remote there is a "format" button which works when watching dvd etc.,when watching netflix you have to quit netflix and open netflix again-netflix causes format change when switching from some tv shows to fullscreen movies.

it has StreamTV support which is basically like a linux computer with apps like Roku on board... Vudu, who is a Netflix competitor supports the apps... they are pretty good and include twitter facebook etc. Vudu is a no subscription, $2 rental service, which for most people makes it more expensive than Netflix, but it's very premium.... it has very wide support of hot cable series like californication True Blood etc (Amazon is almost as good and Netflix is way far behind on this)..... also Vudu doesn't have a 30 day restriction on new releases like Amazon and Netflix, so anything that comes out on DVD Blu ray is available the day of release.... also if it is available on bluray, then Vudu has itin 1080 which blows away Netflix and Amazon who selectively offer HD content... Netflix is cheap, but it's really not that great.... Amazon Prime is sorta free but is really lacking in HD.... Vudu is premium but will end up costing you if you watch a lot.... My bet is Mitsu will make it an open platform at some point and you will be able to get anything
