Netflix Down and Not Working Properly

I am trying to connect to Netflix on my Samsung smart TV (JS9500) for the first time but I'm getting an error message:"Sorry we are unable to reach the Netflix service. Please try again later or visit www.netflix.com" My internet is all working fine since I am able to stream videos from other sites like the youtube. Where could the problem have originated from? Or could it be that my device is blocked from accessing Netflix?
