Helloall.
I just set up the Netflix movie viewer on a fairly new HP Pavillion.
I connected it to my 55″ Sony KDS-55A2020 LCOS set.
I am watching “Pan’s Labyrinth” right now — I am fairly impressed at the quality.
Unfortunately, the on-board Nvidia 6150SE video card only goes to 1360 x 768 (720P) and that leaves 4″ on the sides and 2″ top and bottom of this 1080P capable set (1920 x 1080).
And, the audio digital out on the computer will not play on my AV receiver while using the Netflix movie viewer. A song from the PC plays fine on the Realtek digital output.
It sounds all right playing thought the set on the green line.

Hi Mark:

Tough to tell what the culprit is from only that error message.

What version of Internet Explorer are you using?

Thank you! It worked and the quality seems great! We were at a loss but your steps worked perfectly!

Why can’t I download Netflix Movie viewer? I receive the error message: “A network error occurred while attempting to read from the file: C:\Doucments & Settings\Mark Youndt\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.\IE5\NEULWMNV\NF_Movie_Player_z11.msi

Hi Janine:

On my setup I can only play Netflix Watch Now movies on the display device I have set up as my “primary display” in Windows XP. If the projector is set as my “secondary display” then the movie does not appear. The movie plays with audio, but the video does not display.

To set my projector as my primary display, I –

– right click on my Windows XP deskstop
– choose properties
– choose settings
– choose displays
– choose advanced
– choose displays again

On that screen there is a listing of all my connected display devices — in this case my SyncMaster monitor and my Piano projector. Here I select the projector as my primary display device by clicking on the icon next to it with the single screen rather than the double screen.

I just tonight tried to watch a “watch it now” movie on Netflix on my pc connected to my EIKI projector (which can run say, nbc online videos) but it shows everything but the movie. It’s fine on the computer still, but can’t figure out why the projector wouldn’t run it. Is there a special setting that might enable it to run? I am technologically somewhat illiterate but know how to set up the basics of my projector to my computer and run dvd’s and other online video. Any help? THANKS!!
