Having same problem with netflix.. Is anyone having an issue with losing network connection? WhenI power my BD65 off and then back on it will not connect to vieracast.. When I try to test connection I keep getting failed message.. Can only get connection back by resetting the player (owners manual page 29), only to lose it again when power is cycled off and on..

I looked this up because I owned this player but it has been well over a year since I got rid of it. I dont recall being able to use Netflix from the device. A few forums talk about the same issue, however, tech support responds and says there is an option for it. Ultimately, I do remember being disappointed with this player. I would not recommend it.

No, just Netflix and vudu. I would not buy this product again. It is slow to do anything and the firmware will not update.

J.F I haven't had any problems lately, however the titles I mentioned above still will not load. I've called Sony but all they wanna say is make sure your firmware is updated. I haven't tried WoO, but Ill try it tonight when I get home. Hopefully its just your disc from Netflix...

I had the same issue with my player. After reading these posts I Initialized my player setting it back to default, then let the player search for a new update which it found. "BD.8.97.398" "H90377". Installed the before mentioned update and I can now stream Netflix. Hope this helps everybody.

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!

Just got off the phone w/ LG tech support and they confirmed that you have to manually set the box to 720p (or presumably 1080i) when you want to use youtube, your own media, and netflix. This seems to be an issue w/ the latest firmware, b/c it was working w/ *auto* before the update. Pushed the tech person to understand how silly this is, but got nowhere. My goodness, just set the output to 720p or 1080i when streaming any of the services that can't support 1080p. Hopefully a new firmware update will be forthcoming.

check to see if you have the latest android upgrade (mine upgraded this past weekend and works fine on Netflix. I know I was receiving messages related to video playback before then - but don't recall if those applied to Netflix.

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.

MY PROBLEM EXACTLY. I even deactivated netflix and activated it again (got a different code this time, since I am 99% sure my first one began with an Z and this one did not). I also reset to fatory defaults, and no luck either. I was on the phone with Amazon's "help" and it was totally useless. All they would do is read the same webpage over and over again to me. I am convinced the guy on the other end didn't even know what video demand was (from the questions I asked).

I bought mine new right after X-mas, had the same problem (not able to stream Netflix), I did the "reset" as stated above, and logged into my secure router (Netgear Wireless-N 300 Router[WNR2000v2]), and I was able to stream Netflix after that. The night before, I had called EVERYBODY (LG, Netflix, and Netgear) customer support(s), and got nowhere. Netflix was the best though, in enlightening me that I needed to open 2 ports opened for streaming to work. I did that, but no change. The "RESET" worked though, ports 443 and 80. I hope this post casts some light on the problem to someone out there....! Good luck everyone...!

Hey, New information!!!! Download the two zip files under BD570 from http://www.lg.com/us/support/product/support-product-profile.jsp?customerModelCode=BD570&initialTab=drivers&targetPage=support-product-profile unzip them and put the files from the two files on a usb drive formated for NTFS. You could try doing it with FAT32, mine was NTFS though. Plug it into the USB port on the player and it will ask you if you want to update. It added a channel in Netcast and fixed a common problem with Netflix.

Okay, I know it sounds crazy, but this is what worked for me on my Panasonic Blu-Ray player. Maybe it'll work on a TV too. I was having the same problem. All of a sudden, Netflix stopped working after months of wonderful streaming. Nothing would work. The I found this somewhere online - you need to deactivate your netflix account on the blu-ray player. To get to this option: after you get your error message, instead of "try again" or "back" do this: on your remote hit: Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, Up, Up, Up, Up. I kid you not. It takes you to the deactivate screen. Hit deactivate. You might have to do it once or twice (I had to do it twice). Then I was prompted to re-login to my Netflix account, and then it worked again! I know it sounds ridiculous, but apparently the programmers at Netflix have a sense of humor...

Go to smart tv settings and deactivate the netflix account and then try to log in again. It solves the problem for us.

It does not currently. A firmware fix could be done, I suppose, but supposedly Panasonic has only said that future models will support Netflix.

I haven't had any problems myself. Has your TV been updated to the latest firmware?
