    Hi folks,

    Quick one hopefully. Can you connect to Netflix via the Net TV function on the above tv? And if so.....how?!!

    Any help greatly appreciated!

    Not a chance! I bought that exact model in Sept 2009 and the last s/w update was July 2010.The NetTV function is a disaster, YouTube is just about usable but that's it.

    If you want NetFlix, wait for the new Google ChromeCast dongle ($35 in the US, already sold out) or buy an entry-level Samsung or Sony Blu-Ray player.

    Thanks coylemj, bought Nov. 2009 myself but only opened Net Tv option yesterday for the first time. Assumed I was doing something wrong such was the response rate I was getting, glad to see it wasn't wholly me!

    The Google ChromeCast done looks the biz. Will definitely try and get one. Assume they won't be geo-locked?

    Don't know, none have been sold here yet, Amazon UK says no supply until Aug 9th and the only vendor selling them on Amazon UK is asking £99.99 from 'early adopters'.

    You'll need a PC to feed the video to the ChromeCast so the best option for you might be to buy a Blu-Ray player which has network capability, the modern ones will support NetFlix but make sure not to buy an obsolete model that's on offer at a 'special' price because they need to be recent models to support NetFlix.

    If you see a model you like, check out the reviews on the web and make sure that it supports Netflix, don't go by the logos on the box or what the sales guy tells you.
