Well it says it does: http://www.veebeam.com/products/Veebeam-HD.html (Products / HD page) There's a download that can check your PC to work out how well it would work (at least on Windows). http://www.veebeam.com/pages/Downloads.html (Downloads) 2nd link in the Windows section is a Compatibility Tool. 30 Day Money Back too.

You can see and browse, but so far I always get corrupt video errors when trying to stream anything. Works fine on my PS3, but would still like to see it work on the BluRay downstairs too!

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 have found that Netflix playback problems/buffering are related to network loading. It's *not* the player. I have very fast broadband so I may be seeing fewer buffering issues than other folks, but during the day, when fewer people are using Comcast because they are at work, this player streams Netflix at full HD pretty much 100% of the time for me.

1. Yes, i have connected a cat 5 cable from my wireless router to my sony player and am able to surf the internet. 2. yes, it came pre~installed and was able to sign up but do not really use the service my self. even though I was successful in downloading a free movie. I really do not subscribe to netflix,I do not see any reason why it should not work if amazon video did. Crackle worked fine for me. Hulu is a subscription service like netflix and unfortunately I do not have any intention of paying for these services.

Yes, the Netflix application can be loaded on the device and it works well. Video quality is very good for a device this small at this price point. Note: Your eyes will grow fatigued if you watch it too long so take breaks. I watched all the Mad Men episodes in one weekend. Wow.

I've streamed Netflix and YouTube plenty of times with no problems. I've also sent the stream to an external monitor with no problems.

Awesome J.Ausfeld! When you get this figured out - please let us know. My wife tried to get me the 2550 for Christmas, but got confused and I ended up with a 2500. Meanwhile, I *love* the netflix streaming... it works great. Now if I can only add Pandora! (Also, I've been thinking that with web-enabled content, all kinds of applications could theoretically be programmed on a disc...).

I don't know about Netflix , didn't have it long enough to try it. But I did support adobe flash but it was really lagging and slow for me so I returned it.

Ive only used it to watch Amazon Prime and I noticed that it does. But have not used it yet for Netflix.

I bought this to run OpenELEC and it seems to struggle if you have a very large video/music library or use a artistic focused skin. I think that it needs a but more but for Netflix in HD it should work, that application would be simple and not complex enough to bog it down.

Watching netflix, the playback is choppy. It is as if the hardware can't keep up. It isn't our internet, we watch netflix on a variety of WiFi devices in this house and it works great on all of them. Everything is updated, I have not been able to resolve it. I'm very disappointed.

Netflix?yes. Amazon Prime? not sure. Haven't gone thru all of it yet. It's a lot to leaf through.

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

Yes, I am able to stream Netflix. Bear in mind that each situation is different (interference, your pipe, and distance). I do recommend optimizing using the fast-lane tech they have. It greatly reduces interference, thus increasing BW needed for streaming. I used 5gHz device (my S3) to AC1200, then 2.4gHz Ac1200 to router. This works much better than all 2.4gHz overlay. You need to get into NetGenie to make the designation, and your portable device has to support 5gHz. Hope this helps.
