NETFLIX for Sony S Tablet - There is no date for this service to be available! As I found many complaints on this subject, I decided to post this question on Sony's official forum, and I received the following reply from them: &uml;Re: NETFLIX for Sony S...

An update to Netflix was just released that works on all Android 3.x devices including the Sony Tablet S.

I'm like you, I bought mine back in July strictly for Netflix capability. FWIW, it's been working flawlessly since July on the earlier versions. Its just this latest (1.43) that screwed it up. I even tried installing an earlier working firmware version (1.27) by downloading off their support website where you burn it to a CD, put it in the tray and install directly. The unit comes back and says "Cannot install firmware. The unit has a more current version installed than the disc you are trying to use". So now, we're stuck until the fix comes.

I'm sorry, I don't have an answer to that question. I've never used Netflix.

I never tried youtube. Netflix worked for the short time that the tablet worked. you need to download an app. for whatever you want to run

It says it will. It says it will do many things. So do the Indian tech reps. You could try. If you can get Netflix on it, please? Let me know how the hell you did it?

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.

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.

Thanks AM for your reply!Agree, with all Netflix APP that I have installed, only can see the list of films and my query, but I had been unable to stream nothing and always gets the same error message!!

It will work with Netflix. When a tablet freezes during video streaming it is because the processor or the wi-fi is unable to handle that amount of data. This unit will work fine.

While i had mine I didn't use for movies. But to my understanding Netflix will not work. It was an awesome tablet otherwise. Hope this helped.

I doubt it. It will not stream Netflix. I gave up on the device and no longer use it. I would not recommend it to anyone.

It can play YouTube pretty well, but so far as I know the Netflix is coded with different format, it might not be compatible with this tablet.

I believe you can cause the system is a android so you should be able to download the app onto it :) I have not been able to do that yet cause I haven't been on a computer to download more thins but I believe you can i really love this tablet just as much as my son does lol I'm definently going to put Hulu and Netflix on it when I get a chance :)

Yeah - in the recent redesign of the website there is no longer any mention or screenshot of Netflix support. I can only imagine this means it has been dropped. (If not, they need to fire their marketing manager for not putting Netflix front and center on the website.) This is a real disappointment. I read a rumor that Xbox has an exclusive for embedded players - thus the need for discs on PS3 and Wii. Not sure if that is true, but it could explain the situation here. Roku was likely an exception.

You can watch Netflix but the app is very buggy. The problem appears to be the app rather than the tablet. Hulu Plus works fine as do Crackle and and CBS. Streaming shows and movies via Google Play Movies works fine as well. Unfortunately Amazon Plus has yet to develop an app for this tablet.

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.

I've tried 3 different discs from Netflix and all with the same result - nothing! A new update disc from Sony arrived today so I'll see if that helps.
