Dear Samsung - NETFLIX

Just wondering why the region on your TV would matter, it's not a Smart TV so it doesn't have apps. If you check your Blu-ray player model number I can tell you how to change your region, it's really easy and then you can have Netflix and everything.

Samsung BD-E5500 Smart Blu Ray player. I tried the hacks on the net, no go. There is no region setting under setting in the player, unless it's a hidden function.
 
The Netflix app appeared on the default app bar on my PS51E550 configured for the SA region. Although it works fine, I still prefer the Netflix experience (quality/usability) on my Apple TV (rev 3).

Hi,

I'm unable to stream anything from netflix on my 55ju6000, I can login but when selecting play on an episode or movie I keep getting errors like "the netflix service is not available on this device" or "the device cannot be activated". After contacting Samsung SA they respond with the following:

Please be advised that the Smart Hub server it is currently under maintenance, it is not working at this present moment until further notice.
Regards
Samsung Social Team

Anyone else having similar issues and been able to resolve them?

Thanks
 
Is there anyone with out of the box Tizen platform TV that has the Netflix? Will try again when I get home.

Some dimwatt from Samsung replied back to my email with a step by step guide on how to install Netflix. Go figure.

Please post those steps here.
 
Had it the day NetFlix went live in S.A, it appeared on the TV without doing anything.

In PDF format, but basically it assumes you have Netflix in the Smart menu and tells you how to install it. Basic stuff. The other guide tells you how to search for it and install. Once again basic stuff.

The information furnished is a stall tactic IMO.
 
Not getting netflix app. I have a BD E5500 with firmware dated 2012 and a check says no update available.

Smarthub version 3.7441-6.0.00074

According to compatible schedule it is supposed to be netflix capable.
Registered with samsung account, t&c accepted etc.

Same here, Samsung can give me no timeline as to when it will OR if it will be made available.
 
I can confirm showmax is on the UK smart hub store (and the latest version of the netflix app) and that the showmax trial works for me.

I've still had no further response from Samsung re my issues with netflix though. Is anyone else having issues activating netflix on their smart tv?
 
My 2012 Samsung smart tv prompted an update and then installed Showmax and Netflix. Netflix works like a charm. You'd think they'd give us a better YouTube app, unusable.
 
I dont have a Smart TV , but Smart Blu Ray player, it's essentially the same hub, but no update available.

Hi xxx, Netflix is not available on Blu Ray at the moment. It is only available on smart TVs currently.
