I'm a new NetFlix user and I want to watch NetFlix on my 1st generation iPad. THe current NetFlix app available in the App store requires a minimum of IOS 6. The iPAD 1 maxes out at IOS 5.1.1.? Is there any way to obtain an older version of the app that is support in the iPAD 1?

Brilliant. Thank you so much for helping me with this. Like Savagewv, I too searched everywhere, and even contacted Netflix support. You are the only person that has ever been able to answer this question with a valid solution. It's a long way around a simple problem, but it works. Shame on the App Store and many thanks to flambocious!

It is possible, a bit of a hassle, but possible. First, you'll need to download the Netflix app through iTunes on your computer, this will make it show up as "purchased" in your library. After that, open up the App Store on your iPad 1 and go to the 'purchased' tab. When you try to install it this way it will tell you that you need iOS 6 or higher, but will also ask if you would like to download an older version of the app.

I searched many sites and contacted netflix, and almost gave up. This worked flawlessly. (I did however have to upgrade my first gen ipad to iOS 5.1 prior to loading netflix). Other sites and blogs said it wasn't possible. Thanks!!

I've tried this method and I'm still getting the prompt that I need to be on 6.0. I'm clicking on the Netflix icon and it takes me to version 5.0.2 updated Oct 28, 2013. I click on FREE, then Install App, then I get the 6.0 prompt and I don't see anything in the purchased tab. Am I doing something wrong here? Thanks.

Double checked my iPad and it wasn't installed. Just wondering what I'm doing wrong. I have the latest version of iTunes (11.1.3) and I'm trying to get this installed on the iPad first generation. Thanks for any help!

App Store will ask you:"Download an older version of this app. The current version requires iOS 6.0 or later, but you can download the last compatible version.", just click on Download and that's it.

Thank you for you response. Unfortunately I wasn't able to get it to work. Maybe it's just because I tried installing it previously. When I open App Store on my iPad, click on Purchased, then clicking on Netflix, it brings up the page like you would normally see it after searching for it. The "install" button is quickly disabled, I only assume because of the version of IOS I have as it stats it doesn't support 5.1. Any other suggestions? Oh, I also disabled iCloud thinking it kept trying to install that version. Thanks again.

Anyone found a solution by any chance? I've tried all of the same steps you tried and still getting the ATV-ui92 error on my 3rd gen Apple TV for over a month now while Netflix works just fine on other devices.

Its a ongoing issue , which our technical research team is already investigating, unfortunately we don't have a instant resolution for this as well as there is no specific ETA, right now we will be escalating this issue and you need not have to chat back to check the status of the escalation.

Reporting a problem notifies our teams to investigate the issue and work on resolving it as quickly as possible. There is no timeframe for it to be resolved. However once resolved you will be able to sign in to Netflix app on apple tv. You need not have to chat back to us for checking the status of the escalation.

Thanks for checking up on this. I'm glad to see that Netflix is aware of this issue already. I guess the best we can do for now is just wait for them to fix it. Really appreciate your initiative here!

Netflix logged me out while tv was off two nights ago. I tried all the steps Netflix gave me, changed passwords, reset apple tv (3rd generation). My account is also in the US but I also spend a lot of time in Mexico City. Nothing works. Netflix passed the ball to Apple and Apple has no answers. I'm pretty frustrated with this situation. The rest of the apps (Amazon Prime, Appletv, PBS, etc.) work just fine. I am certain it is something Netflix is doing, nothing to do with AppleTV.

Here is what I just got from Netflix on this: "But just to set your expectations, If you continue to experience this error after performing a full factory reset, Then there may be an unrecoverable issue with your device. If that is the case, Then the next step would be for you to reach out to your device manufacturer - Apple , for more assistance." Not very encouraging.
