the firmware update works and address's other issues as well. Problem is most people, Like Romona dont wait long enough to let the firmware update install properly, which messes everything up. Than they come on the msg boards and cry that it does not work. The process takes aprox 45mins. give the download time to complete, let the firmware install into the device and reboot on its own. It works perfectly just takes patients.Anyway the youtube feature is horrible, your better off using your pc and blockbuster is way over priced for what you get. netflix is definitly the way to go. the firmware update works and address's other issues as well.

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

yes. Google play is installed, and according to reviews I read, netflix works. Here is a great review video for the product. It convinced me to buy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QwgbSCUJUSg&feature=related

I do not think it does. However, if you use a bluray player with internet you can watch netflix

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

Chris Martin is wrong. I downloaded the apk of the latest version of Netflix and manually installed it. I can log in and browse and update my queue. But it fails to connect to the server when I try to stream anything. I presume this is some device check thing. But I don't think anyone has hacked this out of the latest version of the app since it works on all Froyo and Gingerbread devices.

I encounter the same issue. When I want to use NetFlix, I turn the system off and let it restart, then go to "Settings" to see the "Network Status" which will show the connection you are getting (2 bars, three bars, etc.). I usually get two, sometimes three bars, if lucky). I then go to NetFlix from there and begin to load. There are times when I need to do this 2-3 times, but once I begin a movie, it usually carries through. And yes, great sound.

I'm sorry, I don't have an answer to that question. I've never used Netflix.

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 am not aware of a 'Netflix app' or a generalized streaming app, but I have had success watching Netflix on a browser.

It uses the Bluetooth on your phone and the app. It says it can do Netflix but it is only audio.

As long as you can access the internet through it, it will work to stream Netflix. I use it for that although I have Comcast.

Netflix is one of the apps in the smart hub on our tv.We got a 30 day free trial when we purchased the set.We tried it and then joined.It works great.Of course there are some glitches once in a while just like with cable.We use the Pandora app a lot.It works great.The web browser is slow but that maybe because our land lord only pays for the base internet.The tv has a lot of things that I haven't even tried yet.As other people have said,the remote is not as easy as it could be but we just use it for the special things on the smart tv and use the cable remote for regular programming.I would buy it again!Hope this helps.Fell free to ask anymore questions.Mike Netflix is one of the apps in the smart hub on our tv.We got a 30 day free trial when we purchased the set.We tried it and then joined.It works great.Of course there are some glitches once in a while just like with cable.We use the Pandora app a lot.It works great.The web browser is slow but that maybe because our land lord only pays for the base internet.The tv has a lot of things that I haven't even tried yet.As other people have said,the remote is not as easy as it could be but we just use it for the special things on the smart tv and use the cable remote for regular programming.I would... » Read More Netflix is one of the apps in the smart hub on our tv.We got a 30 day free trial when we purchased the set.We tried it and then joined.It works great.Of course there are some glitches once in a while just like with cable.We use the Pandora app a lot.It works great.The web browser is slow but that maybe because our land lord only pays for the base internet.The tv has a lot of things that I haven't even tried yet.As other people have said,the remote is not as easy as it could be but we just use it for the special things on the smart tv and use the cable remote for regular programming.I would buy it again!Hope this helps.Fell free to ask anymore questions.Mike « Show Less

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.
