The samsung blu ray player, much cheaper now than when we got it, is what we use for our Netflix streaming to our HDTV its flawless.

Yes, I am able to stream Netflix. Bear in mind that each situation is different (interference, your pipe, and distance). I do recommend optimizing using the fast-lane tech they have. It greatly reduces interference, thus increasing BW needed for streaming. I used 5gHz device (my S3) to AC1200, then 2.4gHz Ac1200 to router. This works much better than all 2.4gHz overlay. You need to get into NetGenie to make the designation, and your portable device has to support 5gHz. Hope this helps.

You would have to buy a stick for each TV. And the stick works with only a few types of TVs. Buy box-type of Roku instead. You can stream Netflix into your Roku! It's wonderful! The Roku has its own remote. We LOVE it! And, it's easy to set up. I did both of my TVs myself.

Yes, netflix works on the Roku stick and the Roku. The Roku stick needs to have wifi access to be able to stream.

IMHO - get your own dual band N network router. IF your TV is close enough to the router you can get a really strong signal on the less used band - I am using the 2nd band now myself to stream and no worries. Now, just a side note - if you are going to get an HDTV, you can buy them now with the Netflix built in. Or to save some $$, you can buy a blu-ray (which you will probably want to buy anyway) and get the type that has Netflix built into that as well. (I use Amazon's personally - but Netflix or Amazon, either way!) So what you really should ask yourself is if you are going to get an HDTV - if yes, maybe pass on this for now. Just my opinion. Either way, upgrade to an 'N' dual band network today. You'll thank me later.

Yes. I have had a Roku for several years, and used primarily for Netflix. Now with the newer RokuHD and Amazon Prime membership, I can stream everything from Amazon that is available in excellent viewing quality.

Yes, I watched a program the other evening... Secrets of Henry VIIl Palace. It was a PBS Documentary billed as Super HD. The picture was outstanding.I have mine set up to receive Netflix wireless through a router connected to Charter Cable. We are pleased with the TV. Just need to push one button on the remote to be using Netflix.

Yes, it will. All you have to do is sign in on the TV. And make sure that the Netflix App is installed.

Yes as long as you have a device connected to this tv that is able to stream netflix. This tv is not a, "smart tv" it does not have an apps interface. Roku, firetv, apple tv or a smart dvd player would work perfectly on this tv.

If you have an HDMI connection on your HDTV, yes it works great. I have Netflix and hooked up my Asus Zen tablet to stream movies without any problems. Also, if you use a wireless mouse and keyboard, you can surf the net using the TV as the monitor.

I don't use Netflix, but according to my research Netflix is still trying to bring 4K streaming to life. The reason is because 4K streaming takes double the bandwidth. Most consumers use only about half the bandwidth required for 4K streaming. I use 4K discs, such as Men In Black (4K version) to watch in 4K. Also, I have a Sony receiver that upscales to 4K (actually near 4K). I stream through it. I use Amazon Instant Video. According to some of the techno geeks, you have to check with your ISP to see if they have you connected up to a 15Mbps (minimum) service. Higher is better. Low streaming speeds will interfere with your 4K streaming; thus, you'll never achieve 4K delivery. Many ISP companies are trying to catch up to the demand. Therefore, check with your ISP to verify your connection speed. If it's too slow, you'll have to upgrade your service. Any 4K signal that goes into the HDMI port of your Sony TV will display as 4K. You have to make sure it's a 4K signal.

Hi Quentin! This receiver will pass and upscale 4k/60p video via HDMI. Since this receiver won't be the device that is decoding the signal from Netflix (more likely a BD player, Roku, or Smart TV), it will not need to be compatible with this format.

All streaming video that I have tried so far works great but I do not have a Netflix account so I can not answer from personal experience as it is entirely possible that they may have a "block" on the output. It works fine with Crackle, Hulu, DroidTv(PVR), YouTube, and iMediaShare.

Yes. On mine, I can play Netflix programs on my flat screen HD TV. Down on the lower left-hand corner of the ASUS 1225B-SU17-BK 11.6-Inch Laptop is the HDMI slot. An HDMI cable, connecting that slot to my TV, allows me to watch Netflix movies on the big screen. You just have to instruct your TV to use the proper Input. I'm very happy with this feature, actually... --Tom

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