A few questions:

1) Are you based in the UK? If so, is there any reason why you haven't just used the UK version of Netflix?

2) Do the other US apps work?

3) I presume you have a subscription for Netflix?

4) Are you currently using a DNS service that is configured to unblock Samsung Smart Hub widgets (not all work with the Samsung Smart Hub - you have to remember that DNS services are configured not only for the TV service, but also each platform)

I have a combined hub on my Samsung E6900 series with US, AU, NZ, DE and IE widgets merged to a UK base (as that contains the most) and it all works fine with Overplay. I just tested Netflix again this morning and it worked fine.

I have it working using 'unblock-US'. Very easy to follow steps but will cost you a couple of dollars a month.
