Netflix HD only streams at 3.6mbps. ANY wireless connection will easily handle this - even 802.11b.

Agree 100%. I think Syabas just lost a bunch of potential sales. Considering that Syabas hasn't even been able to confirm Netflix support yet, I'm leaning very strongly towards buying a WDTV Live Plus.

Hi Cosmo - did you have any luck with Sony? When I called about 2 months ago there was no solution for the problem, which I thought was insane. There is a work-around that I discovered, and that is saving videos in a playlist which are browsable on the Sony player, so videos I want to watch on my TV I put in a playlist, but this gets annoying after awhile. If you had any luck getting this fixed please let us know!

Hi! This Sony home receiver doesn't support streaming of Netflix. It only allows you to stream internet radio such as Pandora, Music Unlimited, Slacker and vTuner. -Ely

Hi, I just bought this TV and I have a Netflix account. I'm trying to stream Netflix on my TV but I can't hear audio. I bought an HDMI cable and connected it to my Macbook Pro. This TV functions nicely as a giant monitor, but I want to be able to watch movies with the audio coming out of the TV. Does anybody know how to do this? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks! I was trying to find a Netflix ready icon on the box -- it doesn't have one. I'm assuming I can't?

Amazon instant videos? I'm 62 and still trying to figure out how to stream Netflix. (I have, by the way!) Better check with someone else. Good luck!

Netflix is one of the apps in the smart hub on our tv.We got a 30 day free trial when we purchased the set.We tried it and then joined.It works great.Of course there are some glitches once in a while just like with cable.We use the Pandora app a lot.It works great.The web browser is slow but that maybe because our land lord only pays for the base internet.The tv has a lot of things that I haven't even tried yet.As other people have said,the remote is not as easy as it could be but we just use it for the special things on the smart tv and use the cable remote for regular programming.I would buy it again!Hope this helps.Fell free to ask anymore questions.Mike Netflix is one of the apps in the smart hub on our tv.We got a 30 day free trial when we purchased the set.We tried it and then joined.It works great.Of course there are some glitches once in a while just like with cable.We use the Pandora app a lot.It works great.The web browser is slow but that maybe because our land lord only pays for the base internet.The tv has a lot of things that I haven't even tried yet.As other people have said,the remote is not as easy as it could be but we just use it for the special things on the smart tv and use the cable remote for regular programming.I would... » Read More Netflix is one of the apps in the smart hub on our tv.We got a 30 day free trial when we purchased the set.We tried it and then joined.It works great.Of course there are some glitches once in a while just like with cable.We use the Pandora app a lot.It works great.The web browser is slow but that maybe because our land lord only pays for the base internet.The tv has a lot of things that I haven't even tried yet.As other people have said,the remote is not as easy as it could be but we just use it for the special things on the smart tv and use the cable remote for regular programming.I would buy it again!Hope this helps.Fell free to ask anymore questions.Mike « Show Less

Chris Martin is wrong. I downloaded the apk of the latest version of Netflix and manually installed it. I can log in and browse and update my queue. But it fails to connect to the server when I try to stream anything. I presume this is some device check thing. But I don't think anyone has hacked this out of the latest version of the app since it works on all Froyo and Gingerbread devices.

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.

My Netflix icon showed up right away. I did have a connection issue when initially setting up the TV. I called the 800 number that is listed on the owned manual and they were very helpful. Try calling LG.

Not sure what your error is, just got mine today and did an update. netflix was fine. I got netflix to work on my old ps3, wii and now this. Setup is awkward where you have to get info from your blu-ray player and look onto the computer, back and forth, but I got it done and it works fine. The PS3 layout is way better, you can search for movie, here all you get is what is in your queue.

Update to my previous post. It looks like netflix is only showing up in the marketplace on my transformer. It doesn't show up in the marketplace for my wife's galaxy tab. Neither device is rooted. I was thinking that the android marketplace was the same for every android tablet but I guess not. Still won't connect to stream though but it seems that maybe netflix is getting ready to expand a little hopefully in the near future.

Hello Ronald and thank you for your inquiry.The Marantz receiver does not support NetFlix but maybe your TV does?If not, you can add a streamer to your system to support NetFlix easy enough.We're here to help so please let us know if you have any additional questions!Thank you,Scott

Awesome J.Ausfeld! When you get this figured out - please let us know. My wife tried to get me the 2550 for Christmas, but got confused and I ended up with a 2500. Meanwhile, I *love* the netflix streaming... it works great. Now if I can only add Pandora! (Also, I've been thinking that with web-enabled content, all kinds of applications could theoretically be programmed on a disc...).

I just bought this TV, too, but don't have it yet. Do you mean does it come with Internet apps or something? It doesn't. You can hook up a PC display to it, per the specs. You need an external device to connect to the Internet. In regard to watching Netflix on the TV, have you considered getting Roku? It's a very small device you use for streaming on your TV instead of (or also in conjunction with) using your PC. I love it and have the XD which will be used with this Panasonic when it comes. I also just ordered Roku 2 XS (on sale on Amazon) which will be used on the Sony I'm currently using the XD on when that comes. They have a Roku LT, which is cheaper than these two and is $50-$60. There are also channels for all Rokus, though the better ones (like Netflix) charge a fee. Still, cheaper than cable/satellite and you don't have to have your PC on to watch them on TV. You can check them out either on Amazon or Roku.com. Easy to set up and to use, too. BTW, since you already have streaming Netflix to your PC, there would be no additional charge using Netflix with Roku and watching on your TV. You would just need to activate the Roku device through Netflix. Hope this helps you enjoy Netflix on your TV. :)

I would not advise you to get it. I am problems with it. Cannot get it to turn on. I don't no if you can connect it to the tv to watch Netflix.

I just returned my unit and got a replacement and the new unit works fine, no problems connecting to netflix. Also, my original unit didn't process the firmware upgrades because the new unit now has blockbuster and you tube on it. So it you have the chance, you might want to take it back for an exchange.
