What type of Netflix subscription do you have?
I have an old el-cheapo $5/month subscription that gives me 2 DVDs a month. Plus, it includes unlimited streaming. BUT! A couple months ago, netflix changed the terms on this plan so that I can't stream from devices like the iPad. !#$@#@!!! They no longer offer this $5/month plan; so I have a choice - keep with it, or "upgrade" to some other plan that lets me stream. I'm not sure what I want to do.
Anyway, if I try to run the netflix app on the iPad, it just crashes, and I can't even see the error message clearly (flashes for about a half-second).
