    I have just bought a WD TV Live

    When I try to connect to Netflix I get a message. 'Unable to connect to Netflix. Please try again or visits: www.netflix.com/tvhelp'

    I have upgraded my WDTV firmware to version 1.06.04
    Other streaming services work OK.
    I have tried wireless and wired connections.
    My wired connection speed is 100MBps

    I can access Netflix OK from my PC connected to the same router.

    Does anyone have any suggestions or advice?
    Thanks in advance.

    perhaps you live in the UK and have a US media player?
    I would try a reset in the menu and perhaps a hard reset with the button on the side of the device

    The model that I have is a UK model WDBGXT0000NBK-UESN.
    It also has BBC iPlayer that works.

    I think that the problem may be that it has the US IP address setup, which gets blocked.
    I read elsewhere of people using Unblock-US and getting access to US service.

    It would be good to know if anyone has got it working in UK.
