Hi, i can't seem to find Netflix on my new Smart TV and the online apps search returns with no results either .. Anyone experiencing this?
 
You won't find it without using a dns service like unotelly. Had the same problem with my blu ray player.

Just enter the dns from unotelly in the tv network settings and restart smart hub, it should update itself and the search should find Netflix

Thanks, will try this ...
 
To install the app you need to change the country setting on your tv. There's some "hidden" way of doing it, not the normal one in the settings menu. I forget what it is now but it's a sequence of keys to access the menu and change the country. This will uninstall all of your applications and probably update the smart tv app itself a few times. Then you will have access to the US "app store" and install netflix/hulu/etc. You'll need to use unotelly as well to make use of those services.

No when in the main Smart Hub screen. Point the remote at TV and press the 5 keys in rapid succession (one at a time), a region menu should pop up.

No idea, use a PS3 for Bluray?

Would guess at least all those including the SmartTV function. In the past I've changed both my 2011 D6000 and 2012 E550 to the US region and Netflix was installed as part of the region's default apps.
 
I would imagine netflix would be a priority app for them so should work on just about any smart tv/device. I can only confirm it worked on my E550.
 
To test the app, i've sign up for trial account which is 30 days .... I'm not quite impressed with the quality of video/movies though, even the HD ones not so impressive on my 46" TV.. anyone experiencing this? I've read that Netflix adjust quality based on your broadband speed ... i should be syncing on 8mbps on my 4M line ... could the line be weak because its wireless?
