Will this stream Netflix? I see different answers to this question - some saying it won't run any streaming video, and another saying it runs Netflix

They've made changes to the tablet since I purchased my boyfriend his, his will stream video and will play Netflix, with the three failed attempts I made at buying myself a properly working tablet (two damaged, one died after two days) the second generation, more internal memory, blah blah blah version that died, would not. It would be loading then close itself, repeatedly.

I personally bought a tablet just so I could view Netflix and YouTube on my tablet. I'm terribly sorry for the late response but in short, yes it does. However, since it is a quadcore it specializes in 3D gaming and multitasking. Seeing as streaming is a single task, I would recommend a dual core unless you are like myself and like to have open your paper as well as iFunny :) and a browser at the same time.

I haven't tried it, but I believe you can download the movie from Netflix to view it instead of streaming it...

Yes, it Wii stream video. Quality Will depend on your ISP. You will also have to download the apps.

Honestly Connie, I believe it would have if only it would stay powered up. I ended up having to return the tablet because it shut down for no reason the day after I got it. Never had a chance to try Netflix.

Sorry I don't have a NETFLIX account so I can't quite tell you if it works or not.. but I do know that all Netflix needs is a WiFi connection. What I can do tell you is that it streams all kind of videos all you to do is install adobe air and reader stream any video on the web.So not sure by what do people mean when they say it don't stream.

You can play any dvd on it including the netflix ones. But no it does not stream digital content from netflix. You need roku for that.

I bought mine about a month and a half ago and haven't had it not play anything so I think it does. I do netflix, youtube, stream hulu, and other videos from network sites like abc, nbc, mtv etc. It is full windows 8 so should do everything a PC would.

No it does not, it is audio only. Similarly this will not natively stream Netflix The 2800 streams video but has no airplay so no luck there either.

You have to order Netflix or have an existing account. You can watch movies and such on computer. If Netflix offered with computer then I was not informed and am missing out. Computer works God though.

I had no issues with Netflix. It streaming media on my local network and USB flash drive capabilities.

It does but it isn't hi-def, if you want to run Netflix get a Roku streaming stick. Hi-definition, only $50 and runs much quicker than this piece of junk.

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.

Jim, could you send me a link to where you read this information? I checked Sony's website and could not find anything mentioning netflix streaming on this device. Thanks -

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!

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.

Use this tablet to stream netflix as well. Had no issue streaming as long as the wifi signal was strong.

I am having the same Netflix streaming problem: video is constantly stopping and starting (buffering). It seems to work better once it has been playing for a while but the first 10-15 minutes are unwatchable. I switched back to my old crappy Insignia player (which won't play discs anymore) to see if it was a network issue. Nope, it's the Panasonic player. Returning it before my 30 days are up.

Mine did play Netflix movies. You may need to unistall and reinstall the Netflix app. Make sure your flash player is working.

For clarification, are you saying it's happening with both streaming (ie. Netflix) as well as Blu-Ray discs? If it's just streaming, the other reponses are correct. If it's also happening with discs, you have a hardware issue or possibly a firmware issue. check with Samsung; I find their Support very accommodating even if the item is out of warranty. Good luck.

Bud I am not sure. I have it running from a blue ray player to an LCD tv. I run netflix and internet features through it from the blueray device if any of that information helps.

If you have Netflix you can stream movies. Another way is to use the desktop to download then transfer it to a micro SD to watch. Works great on video.
