I did have problems with Netflix freezing. I moved my wireless router to a point closer to the room with the TV (but still in another room). That helped. Then I got a better router (dual band) and no more freezes. If you can, try moving the router closer to the TV. If you are connecting directly to the TV via ethernet cable, obviously the above suggestion does not apply.
A couple of thoughts. Is anyone using the wireless network at the same time Netflix is streaming? What internet provider do you have? My understanding is that cable systems create local networks (nodes) where you may have many homes sharing a larger connection to the internet. If, for example, all the homes on that node are streaming video at the same time and surfing, it may reduce the bandwidth available to each home so that the streaming is disrupted. I don't think that's the case with DSL, but DSL may bring other problems to the table. Another thought may be that the speed of your internet connection may not be great enough to support streaming. Cable and DSL connections are available in different speeds. If you have subscribed to the lowest speeds, it may not be sufficient for Netflix.
Hope this helps.
