This TV has a built-in wireless LAN, you don't need another adapter. Looks like you have everything you need for Netflix.

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

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

Netflix recently stopped issuing API keys to developers so it's very unlikely that it will show up on the AIOS in any official way. As for other streaming services... I have no idea. I would doubt that Hulu, Vudu, etc would show up on it though.

If you go to the Roku website they had a $20 off coupon for new Netflix customers, and that may still be in effect. I'm considering another one to hook up to the lcd tv in front of my treadmill-it's very small and would give me a lot more viewing options without running any more wires or cables.

Their HD model streams at a max of 720p, while their more expensive models go up to 1080*. That asterix denotes that the detail is pursuant to what carriers offer. Example; Netflix only streams in 720p.Give a look at what the options are. If you want other components like a usb pnp, than upgrade, however the base model will support your tv. No need to get one that supports 1080 when you have 720p. Save your money and buy me a beer for good advice.

if you have a account, just download the netflix free app and log in. Also if you have a HDMI input on your TV Google Chromecast is a good investment as you can stream to the tv and use the tab as your remote

No, Netflix requires an encrypted stream. It's not possible on this device at this time.

Thanks for your feedback. One thing that occurs to me is that my Acer delivers what is needed to simply play back my Netflix Instantwatch with the original 1mb. I think I will keep it there. It's all I really use it for, with exception of occassional hotel stays to check email.

If all you want to do is play DVDs, you shouldn't need cable or an antenna.You may need an internet connection to get the initial software update, but I'm not sure about that. You would also need internet/cable to stream Netflix, etc.

It has built-in wifi that must be configured to access your network. It will appear as a device on your home network. After that it can access the Internet for Netflix, updates, etc.

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!!!

No. It doesn't... yet. Could be software update to support it later. It does have Netflix.

It does not come with netflix. I asked them about their decision not to include it. They suggested Playon, which I purchased and it works fine, although your computer needs to serve it and your network better be gigabit, or it'll surge with some streaming providers (NBC). Also, my television, an Honeywell Avantix, has the same infrared codes as the Aios, which is annoying and not likely to be changed, from the response I received when inquiring about a fix. What it does, it does very well, but it has some holes....

WiFi yes. Instructions say it has WiFi. As for streaming netflix, it is supposed to handle that task.I however, do not have an ISP or router. So as far as first hand knowledge, I'm afraid I can't speak from experience.

With analog TV is ok. Netflix, only suscribe credit card before to play app
