I have the Netflix app, but whenever I try to log in, I get an error message that flashes by so fast I can't read it ... two of the words are "allow" and "device" ...

I do have a Netflix account.

TIA for any help!

I think the error is "The device would not allow connection to Netflix" and it's usually caused by a firewall problem. Is this a new problem - i.e. it's worked OK before - or it's the first time you've tried to connect to Netflix using this app?

Actually it says something about streaming ... like "this application only supports ... streaming ..."

Do I need a special Netflix account in order to access streaming video? That would totally stink.

I don't think so, but Netflix is not available in the UK, so I was hoping a US member would be able to help. However, read this thread..

Netflix on iPad Review

You shouldn't need a separate account if you have one already. I only have the one and have no problems streaming Nflix to my iPad2.

I use my regular Netflix account to stream to iPad 1 and 2. I've used them with at least three router setups -- mine and others'. No problems.

It looks like I need the 'Unlimited' account ... I had the cheapest DVD acct (one DVD at a time) and I needed to upgrade to Unlimited ...

I have 1 DVD at a time and am having no problems streaming! Already blown through several seasons of rescue me.. Wishing they had the shield in the works

i.e. no DVDs, streaming only, but access Netflix via iPhone, iPad, and computer equally as well. One account only.

Well, fwiw, I upgraded to the unlimited acct and now it's all working perfectly fine ...
