Install PlayOn from Media Mall technologies in your computer, Add the movie you want to watch in Netflix to the Queue, anf use any DLNA certified devices to watch it. I believe LN46A750 is one of them.

Yes, Netflix does not work any longer on the Samsung 48" or 55". For some reason it simply does not work. If you figure out how to correct this issue please let me know.

No. It will stream Netflix but not Amazon Prime movies. That's why it is so cheap. I called LG and inquired about it. They said they have not created a new download to make it work with Amazon Prime and that it "was not a priority at this time". So in other words, they will never create the download to make it work with Amazon Prime even though it advertises that it does work with it. I use it on a spare bedroom TV because the Blu Ray and Netflix work great, but still disappointed that I am not getting full use out of it. It only cost me $32.99 so I'm not too upset either. Panasonic has awesome Blu Ray players, but you are going to pay a little more. Good luck to you. No. It will stream Netflix but not Amazon Prime movies. That's why it is so cheap.

I don't know I do have a Samsung but it's not smart. However is plugs into the HMDI port of the tv and your set top box plugs into it. I found out that it works much better with Netflix if you have it hardwired to your home network (as opposed to wireless).

You can't. For some nonsense reason, Samsung never made it available for this model. Quite frustrating. The other apps I found very slow and buggy anyway (Netflix is PAINFULLY slow), so I went out and bought a roku. You might want to do the same (or look at an Apple TV). Shame. Samsung make great hardware, but they suck at the software side of things.

No. Even though there's a Netflix button on the remote. The two companies had a fall out and Samsung sends an update when you go on line that makes it not work. I was pretty mad about it especially since it was a primary feature in my choosing this model. I mostly have it unplugged except for the occasional DVD. For everything streaming I moved up to Roku.

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.

The LG BH9230BW has excellent streaming, the Netflix has no sync issues whatsoever. I am very happy with this system.

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 -

I don't believe so. If there is, I've not found it. There's no browser so you're locked to the services set. Netflix, YouTube and Pandora. There used to be a Blockbuster service and I kept expecting Samsung to update my machine with a replacement like Amazon Streaming but that's never happened and considering this models age, I doubt Samsung is doing anything. I don't think they consider it part of the package they sold me.

Much to our disapointment..you cannot! We love the TV..but the whole idea was not to use our laptop each time we wanted to watch movies. I registered the warranty for the TV and asked the same question to LG (no info on this TV). You can with Netflix and it works really well.

Robbie....Thanks for the wealth of discussion on the S560 I am another dope who thought he would get Netflix streaming only to find out the it was only available on the S460.. then my son in law called a few mins ago and said the tech that had just set up his HD TV and PS3 said he needed the disk from Netflix before he can receive netflix. He then said I should use the disk to set up the S560 .... now I can tell him the it "almost works" but needs a date/time config........any more ideas guys?

No. It only streams Netflix, vudu, pandora and blockbuster. There are empty slots that look like you can upgrade but you can't

It has Netflix, but it rarely works. It constantly gives an error message. I now have a Samsung and I highly recommend that brand. LG's customer service is terrible too. I basically have a brand new, useless LG player.

Great question...I just did a firmware update hoping that Netflix streaming would show up...no luck. Seems like it could work if they wanted to.

No because it doesn't hook up to the internet and you need a new computer that has Netflix on it!! Sorry
