I found the firmware upgrade process a little tricky. The player detected my router and I was able to get the RSS newsfeed. It even checked the internet, and said a new firmware version was available. In spite of the player having an obvious internet connection, it said there was a network error when I went to download new firmware.

I was succesful only after I entered the Communication Setup menu, selected Change the Current Ethernet Setup, Yes to Automatically obtain an IP address, and then continue until I saw that an IP address on my network was acquired and acknowledged by the player.

I have been able to use this player with my Netflix instant que after upgrading the firmware.

Good Luck.

update: It seems like when ever I select a netflix movie, the player will say "sorry, the selection is currently unavailable". If I select the movie immediately again, then the movie will play. Also, it seems that Netflix allows this device to have access to more HD content than my computer.
