Slow Netflix: Anyone else having a problem with this?

I don't have a slow Netflix problem, but I do have a "flashing black screen" problem. This appears as an occasional flickering or a short blackout. Otherwise, the streaming is the best I have seen so far.

As of right now firmware version 1.51 is available, and netflix appears to be working again. I didn't test anything else, so proceed with caution.

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

Mine only has an app for Netflix and Vudu (I've never even opened the Vudu app - but I do use Netflix often). So no! =)

I've also had issues with this unit in regards to standard DVD problems, e.g., choppy, freezes, disc errors. I've also noticed lack of audio sync occasionally with both streaming and on Blu-ray discs...yeah, go figure. It's really annoying because we've had to keep our old dvd player around to watch older materials. To anyone deciding, it might be worth just getting a cheaper Blu-ray player and buying a Netflix box separately (around $100).

It all depends on the network...on my 3mbps home wifi, netflix works fine, very minimal loading time, no pauses for buffering and good quality...but if I'm on a public network or trying to piggyback on my next door neighbors' wifi (they gave me the password! sometimes at&t; goes down and they have comcast.) then it can be a struggle to get videos to load at all, much less play smoothly. But I don't think the device itself has any particular limitations as to what videos it can stream.

It doesn't slow things that I have noticed but we're not streaming video. It's a pretty low resolution @480p so don't think it should cause a problem.

I don't know about Netflix , didn't have it long enough to try it. But I did support adobe flash but it was really lagging and slow for me so I returned it.

there's sometimes lag with streaming video apps on my phone, an old nexus 5. it's most noticeable with hbo, youtube has only a slight delay.

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.

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.

I had this same problem, too. put a couple of movies on there and it was almost painful to try to watch. I don't think this device works very well for videos/movies. :/ I doubt the hardware is good enough to provide a proper, synced playback.

Turning CineMotion off did not solve the pausing problem. I did not see any difference after doing so. Since this post was started I have changed from Comcast to Verizon Fios and still have the exact same problem. It has nothing to do with ISP. It is the BDP-N460 player that is the problem. My PS3 streams netflix movies beautifully in HD with zero pauses. It's unfortunate that Sony will not own up to this problem and create a software update to solve it. Most of my electronics are Sony. This is the first time I've had a problem with something they made.

With 3mps my rebuffing time has been cut in half, I see now that if you don't have at least 3mbps you are not going to enjoy Netflix's play now. If you have as much as7mbps you are one step below Blu-ray. You can take this from someone with first hand experience. I think now unless my system goes down I now have the perfect set up,a 67" Samsung, 2500 Blu-ray, 123 bose and Netflix what more would you need.

I have the same issue. Same movie, same player. I have netflix'd this movie twice thinking that it may be a bad disc, but both did exactly the same thing you describe. I guess I cant watch it. :-(

I've tried Netflix and Amazon video, and both stutter a little too much to be tolerable. Web-based things like youtube work just fine.
