Reinstall Netflix App On Samsung Smart Tv
Maybe it got reset somehow. I suggest trying OpenDNS (208.67.222.222, 208.67.220.220) or google DNS (8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4). Check you tv's input port selection to confirm where it's getting it's input from (check your tv's user manual if necessary on how to do this). Related to input selection, does the tv have a separate input selection for accessing the internet and choosing between a wired or wireless connection?. Does your tv work when taking input from the attached ATT dvr or receiver?
Dec 30, 2015. Can I get Netflix on my smart TV? Most of the smart TVs available in the market come pre-installed with a Netflix app. Smart TVs from LG, Panasonic, Philips, Sony, Samsung and Sharp's current ranges either come with the Netflix app pre-installed or available to download from their respective app stores. We have a Samsung ‘smart’ TV with loads of pointless apps (inc Netflix that doesn’t work) and the only thing we use on it is iPlayer. In my experience your better off having your streaming.
Welcome to the Samsung forum on CNET! Samsung worked with CNET to create a forum where people can ask questions and talk about all Samsung products and get help with everything from HDTVs, Smart TVs, home theater components, phones, cmaeras to monitors and printers. This forum is staffed by Samsung employees, but as we have seen in the past, often the most helpful answers come from CNET forum members themselves so please don't consider this just a Q and A with Samsung.
This is a CNET forum and Samsung is here to be part of the conversation. I called Netflix. They worked with me to try a few things (unplug TV, wait a few minutes, plug back in); Nothing helped. The wanted me to reset my UVerse router but I was in the middle of taping a show and did not want to interrupt that.
Not sure if that is a real solution. I did go ahead and upgrade my TV to the latest software update. That did not help. In fact it introduced yet another problem. My sound periodically goes out and I have to turn the TV off and then on again. Netflix then told me I had to take it up with Samsung.
That will be my next call. Incidentally, my TV is the UN46F6350 (from Costco). It is less than a year old. Having to do resets, the KONAMI and more.
Can't Install Netflix On Samsung Smart Tv
As to the router reset, since we know about the Samsung DNS issues, that's a real issue. I'm not writing it's a big bug but the ATT fiasco that repeated many times that was cured by changing DNS is proof for me that ATT may have an ax to grind with Samsung. That is, why did the ATT (uverse) folk post so much about this and why changing the DNS fix it unless ATT was playing with the network? It's not like ATT competes with Samsung or Netflix?
(oh yes they do!) Bob. I had same problems, as well as sound going off while watching certain Netflix shows. First: sound issues. I found that when watching certain shows, I could watch a few minutes, then sound would go off. To resolve this, while playing the show, I hit the DOWN arrow so that it highlights the AUDIO AND SUBTITLES button., then I see that ENGLISH (5.1) is selected, and then I select the one above it that just says ENGLISH, that episode will start again and the sound should work FINE! OK, black screen.
After 3 hours of trying to get netflix to resolve it, factory resetting, doing all sorts of things etc., I called Samsung - was on hold for 40 minutes after someone told me to wait a minute while she found someone - then I was disconnected. I called back, pretty frustrated - vented on the poor guy who then answered, and he remotely dialled in to my tv and fixed it within a minute. This is what he did. Hit the smart hub button, so that all the apps pop on the screen (there are different ways of doing it - choose the way you normally do it, and make sure all the apps are on the screen) 2.
Move the cursor up so that you are highlighting the netflix app. DO NOT PRESS ENTER.
JUST MAKE SURE NETFLIX IS HIGHLIGHTED. DO NOT TRY TO OPEN NETFLIX. JUST MAKE SURE THAT NETFLIX IS HIGHLIGHTED. THAT IS CRUCIAL.
Scroll down to reinstall and select reinstall. It will say 'installing' on top right hand side once done, NETFLIX SHOULD WORK!!!!
If not, DO try calling Samsung and ask for someone who can remotely go into your TV - they WANT it to work for you and will talk you through how to do it.
