No. The player operates through your WiFi and just needs to be set up. Of course many of the services, probably most of those you really like do require a payment. It does not have Amazon and we just changed it out for a Roku 3 because our Neo players have stopped receiving TED. I have no idea whether TED will be restored but it has always been the favorite (free) channel to watch so the Roku 3 was purchased.

I hate the idea of giving my credit card number to them. Can't I just watch all the free stuff and not have to give roku this information?

I use my player for what it is, a DVD player and it works very well. I am not interested in downloading therefore I have absolutely no idea.

Exactly, you get a card with a activation code on it. I also have the file download if you dont have the trail version on your computer.

You will have to do it through a computer. The player is not wi-fi equipped. It has a usb cable that connects to a computer.

No. When you buy this item and you get it all that is required is that you call the number on the box and activate it, then you go to the website and register it, and finally you pay $50 for your first month. Then you are good to go.

No, you need to have service. If you have movies or music downloaded it works without sevice.

Even better - I wrote down the code, and now when I go into my essentials to register it it says it's an invalid code!Netflix registered no problem and works well - but it's asking me to reset my code. But if I can't find it after reset, what good will that do me? Who do i call at Sony? ...frustrating...And no, my unit is not defective and I won't be returning it....

"your bd player's netflix keys have been hacked" and it said I could no longer play Netflix movies on my player. So I'm going to just post how I fixed it since the answers were spread out on this thread. I can't say each step is necessary, but it worked. I have the newest firmware.Got same problem. Upgrade firmware and found this solution online that worked for me:1. Deactivated the player at Netflix's website. Under "Your Account" ...2. Hard reset by pressing fast-forward on the player for five seconds with no disc.3. Attempt to play a Netflix movie (red "A" button on main screen).4. Perform the regular activation process for Netflix.5. Reenter Time Zone, Time, etc. settings in player.

Yes, it does need to be charged using a computer because, all it came with is a USB cord and NOT to mentioned I was sent the wrong USB cord. The player itself is GREAT, but WATCH THAT CORD! Any more questions PLEASE do not hesitate!

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.

It comes with it, but you have to activate it. At that time it will ask you for your credit card information. Basically if you want with it, but you have to pay for it.

These reveivers dont use acess cards. To activate you only need the mac address and id # that is all. That info is in the box and attached to the receiver.

You can activate it. But you cannot use it - get credit for it, unless you have a credit card registered to a UK address. However as I no longer have a UK credit card, I asked my dad in the UK to buy me a top up voucher from a newsagents in the UK.( I wanted to have credit on it so that I could text him when I landed at the airport in the UK). He then emailed me the code which I entered into my phone a few days before I left, in the US. So this is a way round it if you have a friend or relative in the UK. Otherwise you can get credit for it when you arrive at the airport, UK side.

I am having the same issue. I check the network connection and it is fine. I can pick a movie in the Netflix app so I am connected to Netflix. I contacted Netflix and they gave me a list of lg blu ray players that they said LG provided them and this is not one of them. I've also contacted LG to see what their response is but I haven't gotten a response yet. Has anyone used Netflix with this blu ray player? If so, how did you activate it?

You are getting all different answers. I got it a while ago but I thought it came with a card which was easy to put in and activate.
