Nope.  F12 x86_64 is running on all my machines and www.netflix.com
displays just fine.

I'd suspect some problems with name resolution.  Try putting this in
/etc/hosts and see if that fixes it.  If it does, you may want to stop
using your ISP's dns server and running a caching server yourself.  I've
never seen an ISP do as good a job as one would get by running the
current bind/named oneself.

If the airwaves belong to the public why does the public only get 3
non-overlapping WIFI channels?
