Playing Netflix movies a problem I am having lots of problems playing instant Netflix movies....video out of sync with audio, very choppy video, and in some cases just locking up on me. I am not running any other applications, I have 1GB RAM, and I have several other laptops in the household having no problems so it is not the internet connection. I partitioned the drives to be about 70-30 on C and D. I am seriously considering returning my n120 because of this.Anyone else have this problem?

Acrobat is a notorious system hog.I also highly recommend ditching Mcafee if it is on your computer, big system resources waster... Microsoft Security Essentials is a perfect alternative, light weight and free from a very reputable source. Try and uninstall as much bloatware as you can... I did a fresh install of windows 7 on my N120 and it works great.

I submitted this original post on January 5. I was planning on packing up my Samsung n120 today to return it to Amazon. This morning I changed web browsers from Internet Explorer to Firefox and the problem seems to have disappeared. I will do more testing this week, but so far Netflix movies have played great; my deadline for returning this holiday gift is January 31.

My son watches a lot of videos on YouTube and occasionally has issues where it locks up. Unsure if it's an issue with the Wi-Fi or the laptop. He still manages to watch them for hours at a time, so it can't be that big of an issue. :)

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.

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?

It also happens when streaming the video online from Netflix. the problem is from Netflix.

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.

It seems to depend in part on your internet connection. When my connection is functioning well I have been very pleased with the quality of my Netflix movies on this TV. I have had this TV for almost a month and I really like it.

We have the same issue. We turn off the player and re-power. After the re-power Netflix will load the movie. We also found the movie needs to be in the instant queue to play. Good luck

Thank you, Phil. I read somewhere on the discussions that a user had downloaded firmware that locked up his machine and the company said that there was really no fix for it yet so he was stuck with a machine that no longer worked. I have another question. My computer is upstairs and my bigscreen with Bose sound, etc. is downstairs in the family room. How do I go about running netflix streaming movies. Do I need anything downstairs or does the signal come in from netflix into a Gateway at my house and they are already connected. I am so out of touch anymore. It is hard to believe that I used to be the district technology cooridinator for our community grade school district. DUH Thank you, Phil.

Shyam, make sure you've downloaded the latest update for this tablet. There was a Netflix issue with the original firmware that has been fixed. If you've already updated just check every volume control everywhere... especially Netflix itself to make sure the volume isn't muted.

regular DVDs can be played and Netflix runs smoothly on it. It does not have Amazon instant on it. But they may add that in a future firmware update (updates get downloaded).

Have been really impressed! Had to use my laptop over the holidays with Netflix and it was more than I expected! Hope this helps with your decision....

I had the same problem. Probably it caused by codec/software/drivers conflict. At the first glance it seemed playing Netflix movies flawlessly. After I downloaded and installed new Acrobat 9.2 (+ it automatically installed Acrobat Air), codec pack, and DivX it stopped play Youtube, Netflix, Hulu, etc. I made system restore to the clean state (as it arrived). Problem disappeared. I didn't figure out what exactly causes this problem, I just got my netbook few days ago and still testing it. I didn't experience problems like software conflicts before, and don't know much about it. BTW, before to buy Samsung, I tried ASUS 1005. Despite I didn't have any problem with ASUS performance (it is excellent, noticeably better than Samsung), I hated its loose and vibrating keyboard, and returned it. No regrets, just a hope that I do not have to return my N120.

No, it won't run Netflix, I've tried several times to use the regular app and the modded app that doesn't require identifying your device, I just can't get it to run, un-modded app says bad batch files and the modded version just crashes. As for running movies yes it will if you have a non-drm movie available, such as a ripped from dvd or "home" movie.

I've had this player for about six months with a few freezing issues, all with Netflix Blu-ray movies. I also tried the movies on my other Blu-ray players that also had issues at the same point or not starting at all. I have 3 other Sony Blu-ray players and a Samsung 5000 Blu-ray/HD-DVD player. I notified Netflix of the issue & I had them send me another copy of W. which played perfectly on all players so it had to be the disc. I find that I clean all Netflix movies before playing them because they tend to be so dirty. I love the picture quality on Blu-ray and the upconversion on DVD seems to be as good as my Toshiba HD-DVD XA2.

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.
