Will Sony Stream Netflix with BDP-S350 someday? Does anyone know if Sony will make streaming Netflix available with an "older" player like the BDP-S350?

I doubt it being that they have a new player out that has those abilities. If they allow streaming through previous players the new players wouldn't sell.

Thank you for posting, of course. But I don't put a whole lot of stock in that transcript. Since the PS3 has Netflix Streaming using the BD-Live technology provided also on the S560, I tried using the PS3 Instant Streaming disc. It *almost* worked. Apparently, the S560 does not have a date/time setting, which is required by the Netflix DRM algorithm. After much testing, I believe that is the only stumbling block to getting Netflix Streaming to work on the S560.So, yes, the S560 as is does not support Netflix Streaming, but those of you who think it can't, may not realize how easy it would be to make it so.

I had to look online to see what a BDP-S360 was. Anyway, on the Sony UWA-BR100 box, it says that it will work on a Blu-ray Disc/DVD player or a Blu-ray Disc/DVD Home trheatre system. I got the Sony UWA-BR100 because I have a Sony Bravia HDTV and I wanted to be able to connect to my Dad's WiFi to be able to watch Netflix and listen to Pandora on my TV. I hope this helps you. If not, do some research on internet, this is how I was able to find out what I needed for my TV.

It does not currently. A firmware fix could be done, I suppose, but supposedly Panasonic has only said that future models will support Netflix.

I have a Sony internet TV. I get Netflix through Wi Fi. Sound connection from TV to AT Soundbar is optical. I do not have to have Blu-ray player on.Ron Perkins 12/10/13

Amazon streams great. Netflix doesn't stream at all. According to NetFlix, the app version that comes on the player is two versions old and needs to be updated by Samsung. Samsung says that since I have the most recent update to firmware, it isn't their problem. Consequently, NetFlix is unuseable.

Not entirely true. The product website states: Instantly stream a wide variety of movies, TV episodes, videos and music from a large selection of entertainment apps including: Netflix®, Amazon on Demand, YouTube™, Pandora ™, Slacker®, - the list goes on and on. Sony's website isn't very helpful here, probably because new apps are being added all the time through software updates.

VERY DISAPPOINTED to find out my Samsung C6500 Blue Ray player doesn't have the yahoo widget/amazon streaming capabilities!!! Netflix works fine for me, but their "watch now" selection is nowhere near as good as their disc mailing selection, and so I had hoped the Amazon streaming library would have more extensive. Free trial is USELESS!!!

I found that if I change the setting on the BD390 to 1080i, then I DO get audio when streaming Netflix. There is no audio if I set it to 1080p or "auto" when streaming Netflix. Hope this helps other people out as well.

The BDP-95 will not display captioning or subtitle on Netflix. I'm hoping a future firmware/software upgrade will change this.

I had the same question about my BD-C6500. After scouring the web without finding anything, I e-mailed both Amazon (no info) and Samsung (no reply), then called Samsung, who said that for now only their TV's support Amazon's streaming, but suggested that I keep checking their site for updates; so maybe they have plans in the works to add Blu-rays so they stay competitive with Sony and Panasonic, some of who's models ARE supported? Wish I better better news!

Did you ever find a solution? I have uploaded the latest firmware and played around with the IP addresses etc. all to no avail. Blockbuster, Pandora and Firmware updates load but not Netflix.Phil Smith

Great question...I just did a firmware update hoping that Netflix streaming would show up...no luck. Seems like it could work if they wanted to.

I just tried streaming (wired connection) with Sony BDP-BX37 and Sony BDP-BX57. Installed latest update on both. After a few minutes of streaming it pauses, gets into the "Loading, Please wait..." mode and doesn't resume at all after that. My internet provider was on the line running tests when it happens and didn't see any problem from his side. It happens not only with Netflix but with YouTube as well. I can stream fine from my PC, or from my Sony XBR9 TV. I am sure there is a major flaw in the firmware of the Sony BDPs. Maybe they don't work well with certain routers. I have a D-Link 624.

You need a receiver, which allows you to stream television, netflix (either through a Wii U Or Blue Ray Player). I don't recommend any Sony devices because it does not work well with HDMI and therefore slow to communicate. Most of the time we use the WIi U through receiver to stream Netflix. We used to stream Dish through the receiver but it was getting too costly. Thus, you need a receiver to use this Epson.

When I try to watch l watch California network stations I have the same problem Netflix is under attack from Comcast, Verizon.....exedra for unpaid for internet resources (bandwidth). They are claiming that Netflix traffic through their fiber-optic lines is overloading their fiber lines and data has to be diverted. Their study says one thing and Netflix is looking for an unbiased study. It's all about the money. If your Sony BDPS5200 3D has connection problems, remove the power supply plug from the unit; wait 30 seconds and plug back in. This will resolve any internal problems.
