Newb needs help with Netflix

Post by NikoSilver »

Hello
I have a UE55C8000XW.
I live in Athens, Greece.
Netflix started in Greece a few days ago.

My C-series TV has Netflix in the USA App Store, but not in the Greek store.

Unfortunately, the US version of Netflix does not work in Greece.
I only get a black screen. Probably it filters IP addresses or smthng.

Can anyone give me clear directions on how to install a WORKING Netflix App?

I am a complete newb with TVs, and I don't know Linux, but I'm an experienced PC user.

Edit: Any workaround also appreciated.

the netflix widget has not been updated since netflix was made available in europe, you could try to set up a vpn tunnel with endpoint in the u.s.

FYI: you can close your ssh session with SamyGO with

Code: Select all

If you can't fix it using dvct tape, you are not using enough dvct tape.

Thank you very much for the info. I wish there was simpler way through a browser or something...

I wonder how Samsung accepts the insult of its clients resorting to using cheap accessories rather than making a small upgrade to a popular app such as NetFlix...
