I have a regular Premiere with a 2tb drive. I do not have this issue.Does everyone else have this issue? 90% of the time, I'll click on a Netflix movie or show in my queue, click Play, it'll buffer and show the bar, then black screen.
I have to go back, do it again, and then it'll start. I hope mine is not the only one that does this. I have a Premiere XL
When netflix on the 360 is integrated into my guide or search i'll agree. Until then they work about the same with the 360 having a prettier looking interface with the box art. I still have to use a pc for real queue management, can't add dvd's from either and the listings for the instant viewing are still a pia to search for on the 360. I can search with the HD interface just like i can on the 360. Sure if it shows up in the few categories that happen to be displayed on the xbox i can surf those but if you really want to search and browse for shows the pc > all.I use my XBox 360 for Netflix, because it just sucks on Tivo.
Love the interface on the PS3 and I don't have to use a PC just to add titles to my queue!When netflix on the 360 is integrated into my guide or search i'll agree.

Don't get me wrong the interface needs a lot of work on the tivo, its just text with menus. That said its not so different functionally that I have to watch netflix on my 360. In fact i tend to prefer the tivo simply because its one less box to put on, input to change or remote / controller to get.
Yep, I've experienced that as well. I think on both my Series 3 and Premiere. I don't use Netflix on my Series 3 much (if ever) anymore.Does everyone else have this issue? 90% of the time, I'll click on a Netflix movie or show in my queue, click Play, it'll buffer and show the bar, then black screen.

I'm not sure why you decided to participate in this thread then. Your comment contributes absolutely nothing to the topic.I use my XBox 360 for Netflix, because it just sucks on Tivo.
I had the issue for a few titles a month or so ago but haven't seen it since. In fact today I went through a marathon of 9 MI5 episodes through my TiVo Premiere and they all were flawless the whole way through - no troubles starting any of them either. As much as TiVo Netflix gets ragged on (by me included) I must say in many instances playback performs flawlessly for me. Guess I have been lucky not to have dropped network connections for a while either - kudos to Cox broadband for that.Does everyone else have this issue? 90% of the time, I'll click on a Netflix movie or show in my queue, click Play, it'll buffer and show the bar, then black screen.

Thanks for the advice - I already use OpenDNS on my router and all devices, for yearsJust a thought.

For me it started with the 14.8 update. As usual, Tivo has managed to create and even worse product than they started with.I haven't used Netflix on the TIVO in a while but did this past weekend. Out of the ten or so movies I watched only 1 or 2 started on the first try. All the others took 2 tries. It's been a while since I used the Netflix interface but I never had this problem in the past.
For HD I prefer Tivo. Everytime I use Netflix on the Wii it looks grainy. I have to wonder if it's my wireless connection in that part of the house though.How does the Netflix look on Tivo compared to the Wii? I probably won't do HD.
Still no issues here since changing my DNS server IP addresses. The Netflix streaming titles always start quickly for me.I just wanted to chime in that I also experience this issue. I would say it occurs with one out of three videos I view; maybe one out of two.
I really doubt it's a network issue. It seemed like it started after the 14.8 update.
I also noticed something really strange. If I leave it on that black screen a few minutes and then it the rewind button the video preview window shows that it is 2 or 3 minutes into the video and starts rewinding from there.
