I can not believe, with the coming soon sign I was sure Netflix would be available on older systems as soon as Panasonic had an agreement with Netflix.
Panasonic confirms older VieraCast products won't get Netflix, Skype
That little "Coming Soon" placeholder on the lower right of Panasonic's 2008 and 2009 VieraCast home pages won't say "Netflix" anytime soon.
The explanation from Panasonic is that the chip that handles VieraCast in the older models lacks the necessary embedded DRM (Digital Rights Management) code to enable compatibility with Netflix. That information is slightly more specific than what was said by Bob Perry, Senior VP at the company, in the latest update to his blog: "...due to the system requirement issues, Netflix cannot be added to pre-2010 models."
