BDP-S470 will not stream Netflix - why?
168224
This seems to be an ongoing problem with Sony. My older blu-ray (BDP-N460) had a lot of difficutly streaming NetFlix. And now with this player YouTube is hardly running. Sony tech support claims that it could be that the newer model does not have all of the updates like my older player does.

A recent firmware upgrade wiped out my 220's ability to hook up to Netflix. I think I have it fixed, but will need to see if it lasts. I found the following directions to restore all factory settings to their original state on page 32 of the manual. This enabled me to re-login to Netflix and now it works. Strangely, the firmware still shows the latest versions. Here are the directions for a reset. This worked for me. I also turned off the setting to automatically check for firmware updates. To return all settings to the factory preset. Reset the unit as follows: 1 While the unit is off, press and hold [OK], [B] and [Y] on the remote control at the same time for more than 5 seconds. - "00 RET" is displayed on the unit's display. 2 Repeatedly press [1] (right) on the remote control or [/I] on the unit until "08 FIN" is displayed on the unit's display. 3 Press and hold [OK] on the remote control or [&lt; OPEN/CLOSE] on the unit for at least 3 seconds.

The Sony BDP-S560 does not stream internet video from any of the popular services (Blockbuster, Netflix, Amazon).The absence of the ability to stream video makes the built in WiFi, nearly pointless (the only use seems to be to access BD Live content available on some blu-ray discs).The less expensive Sony BDP-N460 Blu-ray Disc Player (Black) with a WiFi adapter (Linksys by Cisco WET610N Wireless-N Ethernet Bridge with Dual-Band is preprogrammed to work with the N-460) or a dedicated Roku HD-XR unit stream video from these services over WiFi.

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.

This happened to me, too. I installed updates but that did not work. Contacted Netflix; they blamed Samsung. Contacted Samsung and they blamed Netflix. Samsung said they'd mail a DVD to upgrade the software but they sent the wrong one. I gave up.

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.

In regard to answer from shizzyvill, before you decide to use the connection suggestion, we had only one working HDMI input that is working on our Samsung LN42B360 which we discovered too late to use the warranty for replacement. We ordered the Dvds from Netflix.

I have a Sony BDP-S470. I have a 3D blu-ray player. It works fine. Check Sony online manual for the BDP-S5200.

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.

Hi, Netflix version 1.8.1 works. Here you can find a link: http://www.rikomagic.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=881&sid=45bd9f40a2f412f2e8c1eb77e09c870f&start=10

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?

The same thing happened with my Netflix app when I downloaded the new OS. You have to contact the iLive software people to fix the problem.

"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.

Sorry to split hairs, but the server issues are on Netflix's end. Netflix has had server issues since they upgraded the interface the first week of June (they've since stopped rolling it out to all users). It seems to only happen during prime viewing hours though. If you are having problems with services other than netflix and at odd hours I'd look for another problem, either with the roku box itself, your router, or your ISP. I haven't experienced problems with other services but I don't use Amazon on Demand. There may be a correlation between netflix and amazon as I read netflix migrated to Amazon's servers. Try some of the other channels to determine if it's a problem with anything else (nasa tv? pandora? etc). Netflix's engineers are struggling to find the correct content to display on their main screen without overloading the servers, it changes almost daily. I expect they'll get it resolved soon but it's been a bad couple weeks for them. For more information check rokulab's user forum: http://forums.rokulabs.com/viewforum.php?f=28

I was not able to keep the device working long enough to find out. I was able to register it and connect to NetFlix. I strongly recommend you consider another blu-ray device.
