I have read elsewhere that you have to add what you want to watch to your Instant Queue in order to be able to watch it "On Demand" on certain devices.. perhaps this is the case with this unit? This other review noted that you were not able to search and begin streaming from those units. I believe this was a TV review I was reading, with something like NetCast installed. It might be worth a try.. add something to your Instant Queue and see if will let you start playing it.

You have to be a member already of Netflix. 7.99/mo for just streaming or 9.99/mo and up tp include discs in the mail. Netflix is NOT a VOD service like Vudu, Amazon VOD, etc. It is subscription based.

AJ, etc. I currently have the new Samsung 6900. It does not have these issues at all, but I am in the process of returning to Amazon due to the fact that I can only get 4 mpps over wireless, yet I have a 20Mpps network. I ordered the Panisonic BD-85 which should arrive Wednesday. On the Samsung you CAN view and even search for movies in Netflix, then choose and watch and the GUI interface is fantastic. If the Pany won't do it, I'll be returning both. Guess I got a bad 6900 as it is CNET's best of 2010.

The Samsung BR player has the same thing. Most likely an issue with Netflix and not the manufacturers of the BRPs.

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?

Just want to post to say I have been having the same problem, all of the other Panasonic apps work dine but Netflix did not. I changed my DNS to 8.8.8.8 as suggested above and it started working right away. How did you figure this out?

Confirmed. i have no idea *why* - if I access the Amazon Instant Video app on my PS3, it has the watch list. The Panasonic native Netflix app has their watch list. It's only the Panasonic native Amazon app that's broken.

I haven't tried Amazon, but suddenly my ability to get Netflix, Youtube, Facebook, etc. has disappeared. I have talked with Netflix & with my internet provider...they concluded it's the tv. I've seen the problem in online forums. They say to reset the tv back to factory settings. But I'm going to call Vizio & see if they can walk me through it.

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.

I think it is a Netflix problem because we have a Roku player attached to our Hd Tv and we have had no problems up until Friday Oct 1, 2010. We can get on the other sites on our Roku player but nothing will load from Netflix. It won't even load to the point where we can select a movie. I have tried to call Neflix customer service but I don't even get connected , it never rings to Netflix. Has anyone had this problem?

Yeah, I'm stuck using Netflix + Vudu despite being an Amazon junkie. Would love to watch Amazon movies on one of my devices (xbox 360, boxee, apple tv), but none of them support it. Come on Amazon. Kindle rules because it works on every device, why isn't Amazon video the same?

Friend, could you tell me if it offers CAPTIONS when downloading like a Netflix movie?? My son can do this and I can't, and I'm very hard of hearing so cannot understand anything without the CAPTIONS!! (I also have an older Sony Blu-Ray)! (My tv does support it)

I believe because Amazon an LG did not negotiate for that access. It has quick connect for Netflix, Hulu, and any others. LG also offers rentals in 2d and 3d simu;iar to Blockbuster vdeo rentals. I believe you ca connect via the internet "google"; I do not have Amazon Prime. I go to the internet just like I would from my computer. I suggest you send Amazon your question-I find them to be very resourceful and helpful..

I just tried a sample netflix vid. You can watch it in the browser, but the screen loses video renering on each side by at least 1 inch at the netflix site. On youtube you lose about 1/2 inch on each side. With the youtube app you get the whole screen for youtube vids. I don't think its a tronsmart issue, at least at youtube. I think its an android issue.

It's a TV. If you have some other device that can play Netflix and connect it to the TV, then yes you'll see Neflix. But without anything to stream netflix, you're SOL. No wifi, no ethernet port, etc.

It's in the software of the machine, should be able, if you have good wifi, to navigate to the netflix app under video. I do not use that part because it was not user friendly and I bought a smart tv.

I have Netflix, the CC are a function of Amazon. If no one here answers how to do it your best bet is to call Amazon tech support. CC works fine with Netflix.

Update to my previous post. It looks like netflix is only showing up in the marketplace on my transformer. It doesn't show up in the marketplace for my wife's galaxy tab. Neither device is rooted. I was thinking that the android marketplace was the same for every android tablet but I guess not. Still won't connect to stream though but it seems that maybe netflix is getting ready to expand a little hopefully in the near future.

Amazon streams great. Netflix doesn't stream at all. According to NetFlix, the app version that comes on the player is two versions old and needs to be updated by Samsung. Samsung says that since I have the most recent update to firmware, it isn't their problem. Consequently, NetFlix is unuseable.

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.
