How do I hook the Sharp LC-52sb55u up to the internet? To get Netflix mainly. Also, is it possible to stream tv directly to the tv, in place of cable

I can't find a Sharp gi221-u remote control. Do you mean the Sharp GJ221-U? If so, the directions for using the Sharp GJ221-U remote control will be in the manual for a television that shipped with the remote. In this case, the GJ221-U came with several Sharp TV models, including the LC-43UB30U. The manual for the LC-43UB30U is available here: http://www.sharpusa.com/Support/ProductDetail.aspx?model=LC-43UB30U . The current link to the manual is http://files.sharpusa.com/Downloads/ForHome/HomeEntertainment/LCDTVs/Manuals/LC-65_55_50_43UB30U_UM_English.pdf .

The section on the use of the Netflix button (page 3-7, page 23 of the PDF) is extremely short. It is possible that pressing certain buttons will force the TV to change the current source. That will cause you to lose your place in Netflix, if the program isn't paused first. (I know that I can do this when I watch a program from my DVR and press a channel number button on the remote control.)

I hope this helps.

What I did was unplug it for a few months when that started happening to me. When I plugged it back in it worked great. There are also a few things on the internet on how to fix that.

Your tv needs to have a connection to the internet. If the tv does not have it, you can use a peripheral like a game system that has internet access. A lot of newer tv's have internet access with direct links to Netflix and other online viewing providers. You can also hook up a computer to your tv with a cable and mirror or extend the display to the tv. Then connect to Netflix through your computer.

Acquire a streaming internet player at a retail store or online. Streaming internet players allow you to stream movies and tv shows from Netflix, videos from YouTube, and music from Pandora, among other options. Different streaming internet players include, but are not limited to:

• Apple TV
• Roku
• Boxee
• Sony Streaming Player

Plug the player into its outlet. Power it up in order to hook it up with your TV and get it connected to the internet.
Connect your streaming internet player to your TV. There are several different ways to do this:

• Connect with an HDMI cable. If you have an HDTV, you'll probably want to make use of that sparkling resolution by purchasing an HDMI cable and hooking the cable both into your player and the back of the TV.
• Connect with a standard A/V cable if you don't have HDTV. Match up the yellow/red/white ports on the back of your TV to the video and audio cables.

Connect to your network. After turning on your streaming internet player, you'll want to connect to the internet. Most streaming internet players nowadays come with wireless internet setup, meaning you don't have to go through the hassle of plugging cables in everywhere in order to get a signal. Simply type in your internet name and password into the guided setup when you turn on your device.

• If you don't have wireless internet capabilities, you're going to most likely connect one end of an Ethernet cable into the back of your streaming internet player, and the other end into an open Ethernet port on your router.

Finalize your setup. You've got power to your streaming player, you've got it connected to your TV, and you have internet. Consider a few other options before you start watching Netflix from the pleasure of your couch instead of your PC screen.

• Download any of the latest software offered by the streaming internet player. This could help expedite things and offer cool perks.
• Choose your video output resolution. Especially helpful for HD nuts.
• Consider linking the player to your online account, if possible. Some players will use social media to share what you watch with your friends, as well as offering suggestions based on what your friends are watching.

No,ask NetFlix for the box or have to buy it.But must have box to streaming to ur tv.

do you have left and right audio plugs connected?,if no,t you will hear stereo(as it will play threw one lead,but if in mono,you wont hear anything unless you plug the other lead in instead...

Well, there is a way to have the clearest possable picture. Get HD cable TV box that is HDMI compatable and watch only HD channels. Or buy a blu-ray player, hook it up via HDMI and only watch blu-ray disc in 1080p!
