I am asking if a ROKU device will allow me to watch my netflix account on a older Panasonic plasma TV that does not support the streaming of the Netflix account now. Some kind of adapter suggested needed?

If the TV has HDMI inputs, you can use any Roku device. If cost is an issue, I would recommend the Express 4K+. Do NOT get the regular Express, as it has too little memory and runs into constant issues.

@DennyPAs the other member stated, Roku's connect via HDMI so the Panasonic will need to support 1080i (HD) in order to use it. If yours is 720p, it probably uses RCA composite connections which won't work with current Roku models. I owned a couple of Panasonic plasma and the switch to OLED is remarkable as is 4K resolution

No Roku I know of has ever supported 1080i. All current models support 720p and 1080p, and the 4K models support 2160p. I had an older Panasonic plasma (ST30, 1080p) and it worked just fine with my Roku players at the time.

Hello everybody
I have a Panasonic TX-65GZC954 OLED TV installed in my Control4 setup. The appropriate driver was installed via SDDP.
How can I start Netflix, Amazon Prime, Zattoo directly? In the Composer under Panasonoic App, not programing ... How can I assign the apps?
Many thanks for your support!

Panasonic doesn't support universal mini drivers, devices which do are listed in the driver docs. Your pretty much limited to listing the Panasonic App menu under the watch menu. Selecting that will open the smart hub on the tv, from there you can select youtube etc.

The Neeo is quite a bit better at a lot of other things (lights, thermostats, audio service selection/playing), etc. than the SR260, but if you want it for starting Netflix with one press on your Panasonic, you're out of luck.

Yea I am BIG panasonic guy myself and have a new OLED too. I really wish I could directly launch mini apps but it can't be done. At least the IP integration is rock solid. In two years of having it I've only ever had to hard power cycle the TV once, and I've never messed with Composer or C4 becuase the TV lost connection. It is solid.

I would stick with the current driver and just assigns the Apps page to a custom button - since it's a minor inconvenience and there are other apps Amazon prime also available.

The TVs are really good only drawback is high power consumption in standby when WOL is activated - its 15w on my 2018 OLED.
I did however program a workaround and turn it in via IR and use IP control for the rest

I have a Panasonic Blu-ray player that has Netflix on it. I set it up a few months ago and it has worked fine for streaming movies and viewing my Netflix instant queue. But recently I've started getting error messages when trying to access Netflix. "Cannot connect to netflix, please try again."

Occasionally a Netflix client such as a Blu-ray player or TV can get "confused" about its account authorization. When this happens, you may start getting error messages when you attempt to access Netflix on a device that was previously working fine. This can happen on an LG or Sony or Panasonic or Samsung or VIZIO Blu-ray player or web-enabled TV, or on the ROKU streaming box or Apple TV (among others). The message you get can vary but may be one of these:

This procedure is also helpful if you are getting rid of a Blu-ray player or TV that you've previously set up for Netflix and you want to remove your account from the device. It used to be possible to manage devices online in your Netflix account but they've since disabled that feature. Currently if you want to remove a device from your Netflix account online, you have to disable *ALL* of the devices and add them back in one at a time.

But there is a way to break the link to your Netflix account from the actual device itself. To do so, get into the Netflix screen on that device (or the Netflix error screen, as the case may be), then using your device's remote, hit the following buttons:

Go back into Netflix on that device again and you will then need to re-authorize the device with your Netflix account. This may require an activation code and a trip to www.netflix.com/activate to enter that activation code, or it might just entail logging into Netflix from the device using your account e-mail address and password. The procedure for activating a new device for Netflix varies a bit from device to device. But once it has been re-authorized, the error messages should be gone and the device should work properly again.

6/14/13 - happening again: big surge in interest in this topic suggest a Netflix network outage. I can confirm the same problem trying to access Netflix from my phone. A Netflix network outage is likely culprit.
