I'm happy to report that Netflix is now operational on my Samsung BD-6900 BluRay!

I turned on the BD-6900 this morning to listen to Pandora and it notified me a Software Upgrade was available for the BD-6900.

The new version is BSP-C6900WWB-1017.2

Not only does Netflix work now, but the software has been improved. Instead of only seeing what you have picked for your Instant Queue (via a computer browser connection) we now have full Search capabilities, Suggestions, New Arrivals, Genres as well as the "Instant Queue", to choose from. Very similar to what Vudo, Blockbusters and other already offer directly from the BD-6900 Screen!

Excellent!

I am very happy to be able to watch Netflix in my family room on the new Big Screen!

Unfortunately, the same fix has yet to applied to my Samsung UN55C8000 55-Inch 1080p 240 Hz 3D LED HDTV. No Software update available yet, so Netflix still does not work. It appears Samsung is working on the problem if the fix on the BD-6900 is any indication. But I can live with it as the programming on the UN55C8000 is redundant to the programming available in the BD-6900, (Same entertainment system).
