I can access my Netflix account via my computer and can stream to my Xbox and other laptops. I've been on the phone three different times with Netflix tech support and they're telling me it's currently a "known issue" with iPads - but there's no ETA and and I'm not seeing any other reports of this on other forums.
Both of my iPad2s (32gb WiFi) can now access NetFlix with no problem. However, these are my daughters' iPads. MY iPad is a 1st gen 64gb 3G and yet I still cannot access NetFlix. I'm getting the "cannot connect to Netflix at this time..." error.
Not sure what this "known issue" with iPads would be with Netflix's iPad app. That would be like Microsoft claiming a problem with Word for the Mac is an OS X or a particular Mac model problem they have nothing to do with whatsoever.
Just so you don't feel all alone on this, yes, I'm having exactly the same problem ... except that it's with my iPhone. I can connect through the TV and desktop ... but not using the Netflix application I just downloaded from the iTunes store. I launch the "app" using WIFI and get the "We are unable to connect you to Netflx. Please try again later" message. Worse ... the "app" is frozen ... so there's no maneuvering.
I am having the exact same issue on my iPad 2 (16gb wifi) and, just like you, the Netflix screen freezes with the error message up immediately upon opening the app. Also having no problems streaming from my iPhone, laptop, or PS3. Sorry I can't help but I'm glad I'm not alone!
So I called NetFlix tech support for the 4th time last night. This time, they didn't even pretend to have a clue what the problem was. They had me reinstall the app, they changed my password, blah blah blah. Finally they told me "it's obviously an Apple DNS issue you should make an appointment at the Genius Bar". HUH????You. Have. Got. To. Be. Kidding. Me. I can get to EVERY website and access my corporate Exchange email. This is NOT an DNS issue and Apple is not my ISP. So with that, I've canceled my NetFlix account.
I can't get access to netflix via iPad. I can via wii and computer. Netflix has sent me to apple but I don't want to pay 39.99 for support. Hoping someone knows what to do so I can get access given my son is using the wii right now
Assuming that your iPad (regardless of whether it's an iPad or iPad2) can connect to netflix.com through the iPad's Safari browser, you're probably not going to get this resolved. The problem is at the Netflix end and the fact that they are redirecting users to Apple indicates that they don't have a solution and are grasping at straws. That said, I suppose it's possible that Apple made a change in iOS 4.3.3 that may have broken connectivity with Netflix's streaming servers but if that were the case, we would see a lot more users complaining about this.
Coming around full circle (at least in my case), for sh!tz and grinz, I reopened my Netflix account today. Now I'm getting it once again on my iPad and both iPad2s. Note that I had to delete the Netflix app and reinstall it on all 3 iPads, but I'd done this MANY times over the past several weeks.
i'm assuming it's something on the netflix servers and how they handle requests from the apps on Apple devices. As you say they've obviously changed something on their backend. too bad they wouldn't own up to it instead of trying to say "Apple DNS" obviously they don't understand basic networking ;-)
I am having the same problem, started july 8. did a netflix rest in the settings box on my ipad1, reinstalled my app, then called netflix support. they found out that my ip address had me in Colorado, rather than Virginia, and that was the problem. I use DSL for my internet connection. They suggest I call Apple support, but Apple would not help. I will try to release my ip address and see if that fixes it.

@TomlinJeanne @Noonanovazara @mandijel @silverrich39 You are the one doing emotive crap claiming for example that anyone with problems paying heating bills is blowing their money on Lattes and Netflix.
@GonzalesMi8051 Just had a major power outage at home but thankfully the squad from the power company came through and got it fixed in no time. All is good again, can't wait to get back to my gaming sesh and catch up on some Netflix. Life's good when you've got a solid support system, right?

@marc_downing @netflix It really sucks that you changed the windows app to where you can no longer download movies to watch offline. I work in remote areas a lot with no internet service, and it was great to be able to download titles to my laptop to watch offline. Not anymore. Thanks a lot ?
@swatson2022 @Theeban_07 @Yogace_Dfan No 152 is final gross. You can check any site.. 220 netflix is only 130 and now the 130 deal is also dropped due to bad response. OTT now looks for hit flop also. Same with for all movies including Rajni. And who said 220? Is it only OTT or digital+ satellite?
@virginmedia @FerryColum Hi Colum, sorry to hear you're having trouble with the Netflix app. Are you able to navigate between profiles at all on that screen or is it totally stuck? Are you having issues with any other apps on there?
