Here's my reasons Hyrax: I find the netflix interface annoying but tolerable - I usually know what I want to see on there before I get there so there's minimal browsing. It is painful to browse around the netflix content but there's...

I don't know if you've seen this but if not it may help. There are some comments in there specific to yamaha, turning off hdmi cec features might help. Or maybe realtek hd audio driver is causing problems, if you are using...
