yes,you can access Netflix and similar media stations on your Samsung Smart TV by using UnoTelly or similar tools.

I've been having the same issue ever since I updated the firmware a few days ago. Netflix doesn't launch, it crashes right away and takes me back to HDMI 1 channel. All other apps are working absolutely fine. I tried contacting Netflix about it but still no answer. I've also done all the reset tricks, tried downloading the Netflix apps from other regions without any success.

WOW! Now all the troubleshooting just seems so trivial, wondering how I didn't find this solution on my own...right in front of my face the whole time !!!! Well, it worked. Thanks very much !!

My netflix stopped working 5 days ago . Netflix did an update after that i had no netflix.
so i tried to do an update on my Samsung Smart tv but it said software was up to date
so i called Samsung at 1-800-726-7864 and after checking my firmware they said that
my software was out of date. My tv was not receiving a signal so i had to download
the firmware to a flash drive and connect it to the tv and now everything works fine.
they were a great help. the only thing is you have go to their web site find your model
and download the firmware. call them they will explain everything and help you check
if your firmware is up to date Good Luck

After 3 days of frustration and trying what others have suggested I finally unplugged my tv from the power source, plugged it back in which caused my tv to reboot and wallah ~ Netflix came back and it is working like a charm.

I tried, but I can't even access tools from there. When i stand on netflix and press the 'more' button, and then 'tools', it just closes the 'more' window that opened, without doing anything. Any advice? I really want to get netflix to work already, it's been months and nothing I try works (it's never worked!)

I changed the tv's country to one without netflix, then to one with an old version of netflix (had to try a couple until I found one that worked - argentina finally did it for me), then unchecked the 'automatically update apps' box, then switched back to USA. That finally got it working for me. you can google 'change my tv's country' to find instructions for that. you have to get to some kind of secret page in your tv's settings, it's different for different models.
Good luck

Go into menu - system - general and turn instant on off.

This is THE fix. With instant on on the tv never really turns off. Therefor when netflix has this issue it can't do an actual restart unless the tv can shut down completely.

Yes Samsung needs to fix this.
