"I had the same problem and contacted Netflix by phone; they were able to make an adjustment on their end that fixed the problem completely.  I have had NO problems since."

"I just bought a Samsung HT-C6600. NetFlix was working fine until I did the upgrade. Something is wrong with the update. Do not apply it. I'm at 1008.4. Vudu works flawlessly."
