Netflix connection: Has anyone else seen this behavior?

Yes, I have this problem with mine. I contacted Samsung Help and the response was - unplug the bluray and plug it back in and then it works, that is until you power it down and then it happens all over again. I am constantly unplugging it and plugging it back in to get the connectivity back with Netflix, like you, no problem with Pandora. I made another call to the Samsung 800 number and I explained the problem and the answer was....it shouldn't do that...the end result was that I got no help and all I got was a transaction number and never contacted back. Not happy at all with customer service. I'm probably going to go to where I purchased it to question this issue and if not resolved return it. This system cost too much money to have to keep unplugging and plugging back in to make a connection.

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.

Streaming from NETFLIX to my Blu-ray player has recently improved by my increasing the internet speed of my connection to AT&T.; The player still too regularly looses its link to my NETFLIX account so that I regularly have to resubmit my password to reestablish contact. My NETFLIX home page accessed through this player, displays what I understand to be multiple profiles or program preference categories (if this is what is meant by the question).

I have noticed that the streaming rates from various vendors are not the same. Netflix has a real problem with providing 3-D movie downloads as well. It could be your internet provider too. Some of them limit the data rates available to their customers. A quick easy check to make sure your TV is working is to try a DVD input. If the picture is okay, then the TV is working fine. Then, go complain to your internet provider or service. Hope this helps.....

I really don't know. I had some issues so I ran an ethernet line, and Netflix works great.My house has a lot of concrete in it and it seems to prohibit the WIFI from being effective.

Yes, we have been able to stream from netflix but have not tried other sources. I believe it will as long as you have access.

I have a Netflix account and have not had any issues when watching movies online.

MY PROBLEM EXACTLY. I even deactivated netflix and activated it again (got a different code this time, since I am 99% sure my first one began with an Z and this one did not). I also reset to fatory defaults, and no luck either. I was on the phone with Amazon's "help" and it was totally useless. All they would do is read the same webpage over and over again to me. I am convinced the guy on the other end didn't even know what video demand was (from the questions I asked).

Sounds like it might be a firewall issue. Check your router's firewall port forwarding and make sure that Netflix's streaming service is not being blocked. As for the DMZ of your router, not all routers have a DMZ (De-Militarized Zone), in fact most don't, at least not by default, so chances are this not part of the problem.Easiest way to check to see if it's a firewall issue is to bypass your router and go straight from your broadband modem to your TV's Ethernet port and if you can access Netflix then you know it's your router's firewall that's blocking the transmission.

Go to smart tv settings and deactivate the netflix account and then try to log in again. It solves the problem for us.

I had this problem with Netflix discs. Note that there is a second firmware update, which might help. Also, when I talked to Sharp, they suggested I unplug the player, and then run the setup and select the reset option. That seems to work, also. I've just ordered another blu-ray from Netflix. I'm hoping the new firmware update fixes the "locking" problem.

I have actually experienced this almost constantly since about 2 weeks after I first booted mine. It happens a lot with the Silver light plug-in that Netflix uses.

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 cannot answer for Netflix since I do not have Netflix. However, I do have streaming with Amazon Prime, and it is ATROCIOUS!!! About a quarter of the movies I stream with this samsung player, will all of a sudden and out of the blue stop streaming. The frustrating thing is that when I try to restart the movie, it does not give me the "Resume Play" option, so I have to restart from the beginning and try to guess where it left off. The other day, I was watching "Fatal Instinct" and the player dropped the connection over a dozen times (Im not exaggerating) so frustrated and angry I decided to finish watching the movie on my pc and it never got disconnected once. My old Panasonic blu-ray player NEVER dropped the connection; instead it would pause and pop a screen saying it could not continue in HD and if the movie could continue in standard resolution. Furthermore, it seldom popped that screen.
