Here's hoping you are right. Unfortunately, every day that passes, the PopBox looks less "killer". Just ordered a Sony TV with Netflix, Pandora, DLNA, etc. I'm sure it won't do a few things I want (like full DVD menu navigation from an .iso, etc.) but for the average Joe, having everything built into the TV is a pretty powerful argument. I still have high hopes for PopBox. If it plays everything and has a "grandma-tested" interface, then they may succeed.

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.

This doesn't have an RF remote right? I'm not a fan of the RF remote. My Harmony remote does only iR and it works at extreme angles. People who have RF remotes seem to be happy with only RF. I only need my remote to work while I'm sitting in front of the TV.Still trying to find if users will be able to install the Popbox software onto their PH A-200 and C-200 units. The original statement seemed to sound like you can, but I haven't seen any proof.

According to Steve Young from Syabas, the Popbox will still support Netflix, but they removed all references to Netflix from their website because they're in the final part of Netflix certification, and don't want anything to go wrong. At least that's what he said in the following forum: http://www.networkedmediatank.com/showthread.php?tid=39604

I don't see Netflix advertising that, you have a link? I think it's only on the larger tv's (or maybe just the plasmas) http://www.netflix.com/NetflixReadyDevicesDetails?trkid=-123456&lnkctr=nrd-d-n-240-sonybravialcdhdtvsfeaturingbraviainternetvideo&pdid=240&lnkce=nrd-d

Netflix does Work for the Tablet just Type Netflix APk 1.8.1 in the Google the Search and download it from your Tablet. I stole somebodies else answer but I wanted to know also and read all the reviews.

I used it for Netflix for certain. It's been a long time now and I don't recall all the details.Also, these kinds of devices often change services over time, so the service mix is probably different now.As a note of caution, the service providers develop for each platform individually. The software on this box will not be the same software you use on other devices, and in fact is probably going to be very clunky and minimally functional.

No. It doesn't... yet. Could be software update to support it later. It does have Netflix.

Then last time I checked I could finally download NetFlix could not even do this before. But after download it would not open. I have done some research and they are working on fixing this issue. So to be honest I have not checked since then. Also note this tablet is well worth it, I bought it for my son and have recommended it to many people I work with. About 10 people have bought this and NONE are disappointed.

Sorry to split hairs, but the server issues are on Netflix's end. Netflix has had server issues since they upgraded the interface the first week of June (they've since stopped rolling it out to all users). It seems to only happen during prime viewing hours though. If you are having problems with services other than netflix and at odd hours I'd look for another problem, either with the roku box itself, your router, or your ISP. I haven't experienced problems with other services but I don't use Amazon on Demand. There may be a correlation between netflix and amazon as I read netflix migrated to Amazon's servers. Try some of the other channels to determine if it's a problem with anything else (nasa tv? pandora? etc). Netflix's engineers are struggling to find the correct content to display on their main screen without overloading the servers, it changes almost daily. I expect they'll get it resolved soon but it's been a bad couple weeks for them. For more information check rokulab's user forum: http://forums.rokulabs.com/viewforum.php?f=28

Yes this is indeed true but it is not a Tablet S issue as it is an issue with Netflix writing an app that runs on Honeycomb. At the moment Netflix is not available in the Android marketplace for ANY manufacturer's tablet running the latest Android OS (Honeycomb). Let's hope they get on the ball with this.

It works, it works! It's so ironic because I called Netflix directly yesterday and they told me they hadn't finished development for this Tab yet. I was honestly considering taking it back. I had Netflix on my Samsung Epic 4G already, but wanted something bigger without dragging my laptop everywhere. I went to the galaxytabforum.net and put "netflix" in the search bar. Scrolled down a bit, and there it was. A link to download the apk for Netflix! Just make sure you have it selected to download non-market apps and there you go :) So happy now!

Thank you for posting, of course. But I don't put a whole lot of stock in that transcript. Since the PS3 has Netflix Streaming using the BD-Live technology provided also on the S560, I tried using the PS3 Instant Streaming disc. It *almost* worked. Apparently, the S560 does not have a date/time setting, which is required by the Netflix DRM algorithm. After much testing, I believe that is the only stumbling block to getting Netflix Streaming to work on the S560.So, yes, the S560 as is does not support Netflix Streaming, but those of you who think it can't, may not realize how easy it would be to make it so.

Hi Shelley,I sent you a post in another discussion. It seems the Netflix movies are giving me grief!! I'm trying to watch Michael Clayton, and my player says its incompatible. I'm having a tough time installing the firmware update as well... the machine can't seem to locate the dang file on my jump drive. Oh well, maybe the disc is bad.Cheers!

I have a Samsung LN46C670 and it has Netflix as one of the apps. However, after going back and forth between Samsung and Netflix, I found out that Netflix has not written an app that is compatible with the LN46C670 for captions and several other Samsung models and they have no plans to write one. I bought this tv because it has a great pictue AND that it has the Netflix app. My wife is hearing impaired and requires the captions to watch any tv shows. Have I spent around $1000 for nothing? Netflix, when are you going to support all devices with the Netflix app? Why would you write an app for a device and not provides updates to adequately use it?
