In order to use Netflix on a game console the first thing you must ensure is that your device is compatible. The three main compatible consoles are the Xbox 360, Playstation 3, and Wii.

If you have one of these systems, follow the instructions for the system below:

PS3:
1) Make sure your console is connected to the internet.

2) Log on to Playstation Network and download the Netflix app.

3) Install the app, then run it.
(NOTE: Playstation Network is currently down for maintenance. More than likely Netflix will not work until it is back up)

Wii:
1) Make sure you have a wireless network set up in your home.

2) Follow the Wii's onscreen instructions to connect to your network.

3) Go to to the "Wii Shop" channel on your Wii and download and install the Netflix app.

4) Run the app and follow the instructions.

Xbox:
1)Make sure your Xbox is connected to the internet

2) Log into Xbox Live with a Gold account.

3) Download and install the Netflix App from the "downloads" section.

4) Run the Netflix app and follow the instructions.

Why is there no picture but sound?

Can you tell us a bit more about the problem? It would be helpful if we knew:
1) What device are you using to connect to Netflix (computer, DVD player, TV, etc.)?
2) When you use that device for something other than Netflix, do you see a picture? So if you're using a DVD player, can you play DVDs? Can you watch TV?
3) Can you log into your Netflix account on your computer and watch movies on your computer? Can you login from someone else's computer and try that?
3) When did the problem start?

Some shot-in-the-dark steps that apply to all electronics:
1) Turn everything off. Turn it all back on.
2) If that doesn't work, unplug everything. Wait 30 seconds, then plug it all back in.
3) Check all the cables (from power to your TV and Netflix device, cables coming from your peripherals to the TV, etc.). Even if they seem to be well-seated, unplug them and plug them back in.
4) Try new connections. If your TV was connected by HDMI, and you have a different way of connecting your device (DVI, component, RCA, s-video, coax, whatever) try it. If your device connects to the Internet wirelessly, see if you can get a wired connection. Swap cables wherever you can.
5) If you can, try interchanging components. So, for example, try connecting to a different HDMI port on your TV. Try other devices on your TV. Take your Netflix device (if it's not your TV) to a different TV.

Those last 2 steps may solve the problem, but are more likely to isolate the problem. (For example, if your DVD player doesn't work no matter what TV it's connected to, then the problem is the DVD player.)

Update us with as much info as you can.

When I select a movie or a program I get the message that netflix is having trouble playing this program now come back later

This sort of problem can occur when using a TV or device that is using an app to stream Netflix content. Try updating the app and see if that fixed the problem. As you do not mention the device you are using, I am unable to provide specifics.

Why do Netflix movies keep stopping?

It could possibly be a slow internet connection speed. Netflix posted requirements. This is a good site to check your speed. http://www.speedtest.net/ Internet Connection Speed Recommendations Below are the Internet download speed recommendations per stream for playing movies and TV shows through Netflix.
  • 0.5 Megabits per second - Required broadband connection speed
  • 1.5 Megabits per second - Recommended broadband connection speed
  • 3.0 Megabits per second - Recommended for SD quality
  • 5.0 Megabits per second - Recommended for HD quality
  • 25 Megabits per second - Recommended for Ultra HD quality
HD Video Quality
Movies and TV shows we have available in high definition will play in 720p or better with a fast enough internet connection. To watch Netflix in HD, ensure you have a HD plan, then set your video quality setting to High in the Playback Settings for your account.
Netflix Bandwidth Usage
Higher quality video uses more bandwidth than lower-quality video. If your service provider applies a bandwidth or data cap to your Internet service, you canManage Bandwidth Usage by changing the video quality settings to Low or Medium to consume less data.

Netflix wont connect on my apple tv and i'm connected to the enternet


  1. Test the Internet connection on the Apple TV

    1. From the main Apple TV menu, navigate to Trailers.
      • If you don't see Trailers: Select Movies, then In Theaters.
    2. Select any title and click Play. If trailer plays, the device is connected to the Internet.
    3. If you are unable to connect to the Internet, you may be having network connection issues.


  2. Restart the device

    Restart your device by unplugging it from power for at least 10 seconds, then plug it back in and turn it on with the power button. Restarting the device is often enough to restore your ability to connect to our service.

  3. Disconnect Apple TV from your Netflix Account

    1. Navigate to the main Netflix menu inside the application and click Logout.
    2. Select Yes.
    3. You will be returned to the Apple TV's main menu, at which point the device has been successfully disconnected from your Netflix account. You may select Netflix to sign back in with your account information or connect as a different user.


  4. Troubleshoot your Internet Connection

I can not get to the movie i was watch

Most connection problems that prevent streaming occur on the device itself, or on the home network. In a nutshell, we will have you test the Internet connection on the device, log out and back into Netflix, restart your device, and restart your home network equipment.
