Just want to post to say I have been having the same problem, all of the other Panasonic apps work dine but Netflix did not. I changed my DNS to 8.8.8.8 as suggested above and it started working right away. How did you figure this out?

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

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 have tried repeatedly to download Netflix 1.2.2, both on the pad itself and on my PC. I've had no luck whatsoever. If Anyone can provide me with a website that would allow me to download this, I would be extremely grateful.

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?

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.

dma media extender will not currently work with netflix. With the vcmnetflix plugin i cant get video but no audio, this is due to a recent change with netflix using silverlight plugin. I would us the roku, but i hear they have some current problem too

Good luck! After being hung up on three times when I called the company for assistance I gave up and bought an Apple TV to watch my Netflix through. This machine is trash, and it's customer service is worse! At least the blu ray player works!

Could be a weak Internet signal. Try hard wire. Check with Netflix it might be on their end.

If you're referring to the problem where the Netflix button on the remote doesn't work, go to Netflix via the Smart Hub. It always works that way for me. If that's not the problem to which you're referring, then I don't know.

I have noticed that the streaming rates from various vendors are not the same. Netflix has a real problem with providing 3-D movie downloads as well. It could be your internet provider too. Some of them limit the data rates available to their customers. A quick easy check to make sure your TV is working is to try a DVD input. If the picture is okay, then the TV is working fine. Then, go complain to your internet provider or service. Hope this helps.....

I could get mine to connect but continued getting error messages when I tried to access Netflix even though the Netflix site came up. So, I called emailed them and none of the fixes worked. If I were you I would return it and either purchase a Blue Ray player with wireless capabilities or get a Roku. I have a Sony Blue RFay wireless player and it works great. I paid $100 for it. I also have a Sony for the TV in my computer room and it is wired to my router via ethernet cable and it works great. The Rikomagic is a great idea if it would just work.

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.

The wireless never worked on mine so I couldn't get Netflix. I returned it.

It works, it works! It's so ironic because I called Netflix directly yesterday and they told me they hadn't finished development for this Tab yet. I was honestly considering taking it back. I had Netflix on my Samsung Epic 4G already, but wanted something bigger without dragging my laptop everywhere. I went to the galaxytabforum.net and put "netflix" in the search bar. Scrolled down a bit, and there it was. A link to download the apk for Netflix! Just make sure you have it selected to download non-market apps and there you go :) So happy now!

I don't quite understand why it doesn't have Netflix since the amazon site shows it has the "Netcast Entertainment Access"....which carries Netflix. I'm technical and can't find answers - no wonder everyone keeps buying and doesn't understand why it doesn't have Netflix. Would everyone stop slamming these people and calling them stupid. (by everyone, I mean those that have commented on reviews, not mj28)Has anyone tried to download a firmware update on this player (on lg website there are several updates) and see if netcast entertainment access would now have netflix?I get it if it truly doesn't have it - but for some of us, the advertisement on this page vs. LG page is different.
