It came from Asus: http://eee.asus.com/en/eeepad/transformer/specification/
Says Netflix (US Only).... they lie.
I tried Netfllix V1.30 apk that could be sideloaded and works great on my unrooted 3.2 Xoom, but unfortunately it doesn't work on the 3.2 TF. It goes farther than the one most of us downloaded right away when 3.1 8.4.4.11 FOTA update came 2 weekends ago. This version loads, you can sign in and even showed my favorites and unfinished movies. But when you try to play any movie it comes back with a message that the server can not be reached... I think I remember this being the Netflix program behavior the weekend of the 3.1 8.4.4.11 update and before Netflix pulled it from the Market that Monday or Tuesday following... After Netflix pulled it, when you launched it it would tell you of an update and when you tried, it simply told you it couldn't find the program in the Market... Still no love from Netflix... Boo...

So I updated with the rooted 3.1 and it's awesome, but when I got into the market, there's just the apps and books tabs but no movies tab. Anyone else have the movies tab yet or is this coming from the OTA and not the leaked one?
i think movies only works with a 3g xoom so far, the wifi xoom and tf may come latter
from what i read somewhere
This may be the reason you don't see Movies on your rooted device...

They must be blocking it from non rooted devices too, because I have no Movie tab in my market after upgrading to 3.1. However, I do have one on my pc on the Web based marketplace.
I'm not rooted and I can't see the movies either after 3.1
It's not available on all honeycomb devices yet, but I'm sure we'll find out more when we can have in in the coming weeks

As per this engadget review of the upcoming samsung 10.1 incher
http://www.engadget.com/2011/06/08/samsung-galaxy-tab-10-1-review/
....Android 3.1 brings along widgets that can be resized vertically and horizontally, access to the newfangled Movies section of the Android Market, improved overall performance and support for a host of USB accessories. Unfortunately, the Movies department is only open for Android 3.1 tablets with 3G radios, hence, our 16GB WiFi test unit still showed it as unavailable. ......

When you choose an unsupported app the device does not show up in the download to drop down, I believe the movies will be the same way.
"Unfortunately, the Movies department is only open for Android 3.1 tablets with 3G radios, hence, our 16GB WiFi test unit still showed it as unavailable"
That's just dumb.
Why in heaven's name would you now allow Movies on a WiFi only device?

Stupidity Either that, or it's a ploy by the carriers to push people into overages and ever more expensive data plans, they can't do that if you're only using WiFi.

Has anyone got netflix worling on their tab yet? I keep getting error 12001 when trying to stream. It says the Netflix service could not be reached. I figured it had to do with the build.prop issue and tried to use the modified Apk, but when I try to open those I get a message saying that the file couldn't be opened.
I get the same error number. I'm using the app from the market. I thought I might just reinstall, but then I noticed that I can't find it in the market anymore.

This is post from February... still no Netflix on Xoom or any HC tablet.
Though Viewsonic gtablet (same Terga2) with CM7.0.3 (Android 2.3) doing Ok with Netflix streaming. I will not upgrade until Netflix and/or Samsung/Google make it happen.
Its funny. My nook color has a working Netflix app and can connect to ad hoc networks and ny tab 10.1 cant

Holy crap awesome!
Probably going to need some custom built security libraries though that won't be easy to port. The .apk itself should be easy enough as it's built for the Teg2.
And Netflix was trying to tell us that they needed protected hardware sandboxing for HD content. What jerks.
sassafras
Porting it over seems unlikely. The Lenovo actually contains a physical DRM chip that's required for Netflix to run. At this point, it doesn't look like Netflix will ever appear on early Honeycomb tablets. Even if it does, it'll be a highly neutered version.

I just completed reading an article about that.
I guess with a little decompiling it might be possible to trick the new Netflix .apk into ignoring the DRM module.
If not, it'll be back to what I know and love: Piracy Arghh!

Isn't a little late for a Tegra 2 Tablet to jump in the game when Kal-El and similar chips are rearing its head for this fall? But these devices are going to be built well, I'm sure.

Thats an old rumor. They have been using software DRM since the official Android app was released. They just need to port it over to honeycomb.

Not an old rumor. They're using software DRM now, but only for SD content. Content owners are still demanding hardware sandboxing if you want HD content.
Piracy for me in the meantime.
sassafras
I'll take a 480P streaming version if I can get it. Doesn't look too bad on the TF. The fact that phones/tablets on 2.3 can run the regular Netflix app proves that it's not impossible on a Tegra 2. If they use the hardware excuse for older 3.0+ tablets, then you know it's a cop-out.
But yeah, all this HW DRM crap for HD content sucks.
I can see it in the store and install it now on my Transformer, but whenever I try to play something I get an error.

We could install Netflix since the 8.4.4.11 OTA. Same issue with streaming though.

True that... I see that the Netflix app now supports the Atrix, which should be pretty much equivalent to the Honeycomb tablets (no DRM chip, Tegra 2). I'm perfectly fine with SD content on the TF, really. I currently use PlayOn for both Hulu and Netflix, and I'm pretty sure that never gets to HD levels but is still perfectly watchable.

I installed Netflix once it was visible (after the OTA) but today when I try to update it to the new version, I get "The requested item could not be found"

I found the new version and sideloaded it. You get the same error as before. If someone could dump the APK from the Lenovo, we might be in business.
Netflix is the last thing missing from my Transformer. If someone could get that working, I'd be beyond happy!

Lies! This is the same client I tried earlier. I downloaded and installed it just the same to try. I still get the 120001 error. I'm not sure what "some" Transformers they're talking about, but apparently it isn't mine (stock 3.1, latest updates, 32GB model)

It's working on other Honeycomb tablets. That's for sure.
Android Central have it working on a Tab: http://www.androidcentral.com/new-n...mpaign=Feed:+androidcentral+(Android+Central)
I tried loading it with wifi off and you can see it's just loading a webpage. The address is
https://uiboot.netflix.com/apps/mob...46&sdk_version=3.0&sw_version=1.3.0 build 246
If we could find the address for a working honeycomb tab, I bet you it would work on the Transformer.
just incase anyone was woundering. MAXGO will not work on xoom either, which i dont think was a big shocker cause it was devl by the same people.
i removed device checker, and just like hbogo it FC when you try to login.
ahh man, you got my hopes up for a second there with that title... yeah no official maxgo, hbogo or netflix apps for the xoom.
maybe christmas...

Netflix works. Just pull it off your phone and side load it to your xoom. Works great! If u don't have android phone let me know if u need apk if u can't find it on here and il post the app

It seems strange that the best use case for these apps (Honeycomb tablets) seems to be the least developed... It seems especially strange that Netflix has the compatibility in place, but won't update the market's compatible apps so the app shows up when searching the market on a tablet.
Maxgo works well from the full site in flash. HBOGo however studders too much in flash to be usable. Like all here, I would appreciate a native app for Android supported on the Xoom. This continues to be a stick upon which Apple fanbois can use to continue beating upon us.
I just updated my stock ROM (manually checked), and I'm VERY EXCITED to report that Netflix now works! Thank you ASUS!

I'm pretty pumped about this. I live in Vietnam and pay for a VPN service (StrongVPN). Might be worth your while if you like netflix as much as I do. I'm happy to report netflix works for me now.
Strange, it won't work for me. I still have it installed from when it was briefly available a month or so back, but it still says my device isn't supported, won't stream, won't update, and won't find it in the market to re-download. That's with the FOTA that was just released in the US this morning.
...and keyboard lag is maybe slightly better, but still noticeable.
where did you guys download netflix program? I can not find it on the market.
I too cannot find it in the market...any hints on where you found it?
As for using Netflix from outside the US, I'm in the VI, I've used Hide My Ass VPN to get Netflix and other services that wouldn't let us stream content since we aren't in the US for quite some time with excellent results. I even posted instructions on how to get a Linksys E3000 router to connect to the service so all clients appear to be cominig from the states on my blog at Blendblog.net. Hope this helps!

Just before i left to work this morning, i noticed there was an update notification. Left it running as i headed out. (now wishing i had brought the damn thing..lol)
Yup, a friend/co-worker downloaded the update and his Netflix is now working. Can't want to get home and try mine. This may be the nail in the Galaxy Tab 10.1's coffin... Netflix was the only thing that was keeping me from returning the Galaxy Tab 10.1 and keeping the Transformer.
Confirmed. Working on mine, and looks great. Man, Asus rocks.
