I updated my ATV the other day. Since then I have noticed that Netflix does not update the watched episodes of TV shows. In case you did know, before the update, ATV would place the selection box right after the last watched episode. It now keeps showing the episode watched just before the update, regardless of how many other episodes have been watched since then.
Does anyone else have this issue?
Thanks,
Mustafa.

Yes, I have the same issue after updating my ATV 3 to iOS 5.1. I'm having similar issues with podcasts.
Almost two months after the iOS 5.1 update, Netflix still doesn't update the watched episodes of TV shows. I was hoping that Apple would fix this issue. Disappointing.
Unfortunately the iOS 5.1.1 update does not fix this issue with Netflix.
I had the same problem with firmware versions 5.1 and 5.1.1 on a 3rd generation Apple TV. I restored the firmware version back to 5.0.2 which resolved the problem.
Thanks for the info Larry. I followed your lead and restored the 5.0.2 firmware on my ATV 3. I'll wait for Apple to fix the Netflix and podcast bugs introduced with iOS 5.1 before updating to the latest version.
I just realised I was chasing the wrong person on this complaining to Netflix, as Apple supply the software and have a formal bug reporting website http://bugreport.apple.com you have to register as a developer but it's free to do that as far as I remember, only App Store developers have to pay.
I don't think I can comment further due to the non disclosure agreement, but please also report to Apple to get this fixed. As said it still isn't fixed in the new 5.2 release yesterday.
I can't see my original post but basically if you watch a whole episode Netflix doesn't sync the viewed position so if you check your history online it says 0 mins viewed, hence why it doesn't move to the next episode. Watch 5 minutes and stop and it does sync the viewing position.
Issue with this is don't think it had been formally raised with Apple to fix.
Bug introduced in 5.1 update.
Has anyone tried watching a tv episode on Netflix after updating to release 5.2.1? If so, then are the watched episodes being synced with Netflix? I'm hoping that the latest firmware finally fixes this bug.
The Netflix episode guide bug appears to have been fixed in the 5.2.1 update on my 3rd generation Apple TV.
Larry, thanks for sharing the good news that watched Netflix tv episodes are now being updated. I've been waiting until this bug is fixed before installing the latest firmware. I'm now on 5.2.1 and it's working fine.
Yes in my testing I find it to be finally fixed, I did file a detailed bug report to Apple and Netflix about this, hopefully it helped get it resolved.
I filed a bug report with Apple as well Neil.
