Troubled Waters with Roku and Netflix

I know some people have been having problems with Roku and I wanted to comment and tell you how to fix it. You will need to go to your Roku settings and Disable the browse and search feature. This seems to have fixed my issue but I still wanted to warn people how to fix the problem with “Retrieving…” in the NetflixWindow and getting the error message “unable to connect to Netflix at this time” messages. If your getting these message try deactivating the search feature. Although a quick not people are want to roll back to the earlier version of Netflix. I do hope they fix this problem because I really did like the search feature!!

Anyone else having these Problems??

UPDATE 10/21/10

If your are unable to connect to the Netflix through the Roku box, there is a quick way to watch shows from your queue. This has worked for me in the past! Go into your Settings and under Netflix disable “Browse and Search in Netflix” to be able to watch shows and movies from your Roku box!!
