Samsung TV will stop Netflix today – Check if you're affected
Netflix about has the app removed from the Samsung TV. The annoying block is affecting numerous Samsung TVs after the Korean firm said it was ending Netflix support for some models. In a post on its website, Samsung said:
“Although some of our older TV’s will no longer support Netflix directly beginning December 1st, 2019, many other devices you may have connected to your TV are still supported.
“You can find a list from Netflix at devices.netflix.com
“As long as you have one of the supported devices, like a game console, streaming media player, or set-top box, you’ll still be able to watch Netflix on your TV.”
Uodate:Netflix has announced that due to technical limitations, as of December 2, 2019, the Netflix streaming service will no longer be supported on several consumer electronics devices, including some from Samsung. This change will impact select 2010 and 2011 Samsung Smart TV models that were sold in the U.S. and Canada. Affected devices will receive a notification reflecting this change.
This change will start from today, December 1, 2019. Samsung and Netflix claim those impacted sets will be typically older models, so anyone who has recently treated themselves to a new Samsung TV won’t find themselves left without content.
It might be worth mentioning that even if your Samsung TV is one of the models set to lose its Netflix app, there are a whole host of affordable ways to continue streaming from the popular video service. Services/devices such as Google Chromecast, Amazon Fire TV, Roku and more offer the whole host of different products to access popular video-on-demand services, including Netflix, Amazon Prime, Apple TV+, YouTube, and more.
The news comes as Netflix has trialled a new feature to help you watch shows and movies at a faster speed than usual – skipping through boring scenes to race to the conclusion at the end of the season.
