8 blinks indicate SS board problem

tThe diagnostic circuits is shutting your TV down. In most cases the set will shut it down immediately. Apparently your set hasn't shut completely down yet. When you turn your TV on the diagnostic circuits send a low voltage, low frequency signal through all the circuits and depending on how they come back whether the sets powers up to full power. If a problem is detected it will shut down to protect the other circuits. It sounds like you might have some capacitors going bad on your power board. A capacitor that is going bad would let it come on for a few seconds then the diagnostic circuits would see the capacitor getting further out of tolerance and shut the set down. If you are a DYS type person you might want to lay it flat of it;s face and remove the back. A bad capacitor will be bulged out on the top. are Replace capacitors with the exact uf value and if you can go above the rated voltage but never below., If this isn't the problem then it is probably the main board (the board where your cable hooks up to), There are other things that cab causes for this but I would check the capacitors first.

You can set up a Netflix account online from a computer. Once you have a Netflix account you would need a "Smart" TV to access Netflix. Your TV does not have the Netflix application... so you need another way to get Netflix, such as a game console (PS3/PS4/XBOX) or some sort of streaming TV box. It will connect to an HDMI port http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Netflix_compatible_devices
