I've been wondering,
Since we have fancy HD screens, would it be possible to get the new tablet version of the Netflix APk?
From what I saw it looks much nicer than the standard phone apk. Would it require some kind of hack to let it run on 2.3? Or is it a switch that can be flipped in the apk?

I think there would have to be some modification done to allow HD content to be streamed to us. I know when I had the RAZR the moment I launched the market Netflix was pretty much the first thing to update. So I doubt we can just take the apk and that would result in HD streaming from Netflix. Pretty lame since this screen > RAZR.
I'm pretty sure I'm getting HD streaming on the titles that are in HD.. I mostly want it for the new slick layout.

netflix hd is only supported on the texas instrument chipset (razr, bionic, Galaxy Nexus)
is there plans to support other chipsets?

^ only TI OMAP 4 has the security certificate at the moment to be able to stream HD content from Netflix. Further fragmentation on the Android market yay! Probably will be a few more months until our chipset will have the certificate to stream HD content.
Now explain why it would steam hd video to device's that do not have hd LOL sounds like a troll.

qHD can still display HD content nicely. The HD Netflix looked amazing on the RAZR, I know the screen on this phone will compliment HD Netflix nicely.

You do realize each of those phones has HDMI output right? And that the output does do HD.

Does Netflix work on Photon using the HDMI to connect to TV?
It should because all the HDMI is doing is taking whatever is on your Photon screen and projecting it to your TV. We already know that Netflix is supported on the Photon so this shouldn't be a problem.
Yep, watched some MST3K and some ST:TNG already

just make sure you have the correct (good) cable. First one I had did not work well, the second one worked great.

i tried this yesterday and while i thought the capability was cool it does look kinda grainy on bigger TV's because its just blowing up the phone screen image. A way to improve resolution or a custom app from netflix would be really clutch, but I dont want to ask for too much. +1 for hulu working in webtop mode
I will be watching it and it will randomly freeze but I can still hear the sound. I'm on alpha 2.1 with the newest netflix. Do I need a different version of netflix?

Yes, I have to quit Netflix and restart the video to get it to work. Any solutions?
Actually the latest version works perfectly for me. And i watch a lot of Netflix

I havent used Netflix much, mainly because the screen looks smushed because of the resolution. Anyone have a fix for that?

I don't have that problem. With one of the newer updates Netflix goes to Tablet mode instead of looking like it's made for a phone. And the video quality is very decent, at least for Star Trek and Spongebob it is.
I'm just starting to use netflix on my rezound, and I was wondering how to get full screen HD on it...I know there are previous posts for this topic though the ones I came across were a bit old and not full screen.
Anyone know

What do you mean full screen? Our devices can't do HD Netfix right now because of our processor or something. HD Netflix isn't compatible with it. We'll get it eventually.

From what I've read, you can download a file so you can get HD netflix..though its not full screen viewing like the market app is.
Idk where, but its the razrs netflix app that does HD. The galaxy nexus forums have the link to the app .

Yeah, many of us have tried that HD Netflix .apk. It won't do anything really. The HD version just isn't compatible yet. Even if you have the .apk, it won't give you true HD until Netflix makes it compatible with our processors.
Here is the thread that has the HD Netflix if you want to try it. But like I said, it won't really do much. Worth a shot, though.
Thanks I shall give it a try..hope they come out with one compatible with the rezound soon!

Tried the apk myself and could not get it to work properly. Plus it repeatedly asked me to upgrade to a newer version in the Android Market. So I got rid of it.

The Nexus is able to do it since it uses similar architecture as the OMAP4 from the Razr. The Snapdragon is a differen't thing. Guess we got screwed on the HD, funny how the Snapdragon Devices were one of the first devices to get Netflix over the OMAP when it was first released.
I had one that worked in full hd and fullscreen but it became outdated and is useless now as you can't play anything without it asking for an update
Its not technically the processor, but the security capabilities. The OMAP4's have whats needed for it to be "secure". I remember an article about it i believe when the droid 3 came out, and heres an example:
http://www.engadget.com/2011/07/05/netflix-for-android-gets-first-hd-streaming-certification-texas/
The only phone right now that has the security certificate to allow HD streaming from Netflix is the RAZR. Go figure the device w/o a HD screen gets HD netflix . Eventually one day our devices will support HD netflix.

Are threre any video quality diffrence between the two apps phone/tablet versions?
I mostly want to use this for the dvr shows not so much live tv. I want the tablet app if it has better video quality but not controls for dvr seems like a deal breaker.Is the phone app video quality just as good? I want to make sure before I put down $300+ and $30 for the app.
Thank you guys for your responses

I just got the slingbox pro hd and its okay! All the features and function is there but the video quality is okay. I get the same choppy quality in sd and hd. I have it hooked thru component with digital audio and optimum online boost 30 down 8 up in nyc. I'm happy with the box and hope maybe ICS will make the video quality better along with netflix.

I'm using Slingbox-Pro for 7 years and never had any problem with the Tilt II and now I'm using it on my Verizon Samsung Galaxy " Tablet using Android and don't have any problem either.
When I try to use it on the new samsung focus S, The windows phone reqired that you must change the slingbox pro to slingbox pro-HD. I did that, spent $250 for the slingbox pro-hd, it works for 3 months then the power supply input on the pro-hd burned up. Now I switched back to the Slingbox pro and still working good with my android tablet but will not work on the windows phone. I think the windows phone SUCK !!!.I'll switch to the Samsung Galaxy Note as soon it come out. Stay away from windows phones. Regars,

My Netflix was brought over from the EVO 3D as a TB backup and it works without issues. I'm just rooted, no further customization.
Well I hope they release an official netflix HD app soon.I swear if I hear of a Damn netflix app for that dumb retina screen iPad it may get ugly in here
