Netflix App to Stop Working on 60 Types of TVs Next Month, Leaving Thousands Without Access
Netflix fans with certain types of TVs will soon find that the app for the popular streaming service will no longer work on their devices. Despite being one of the largest streaming platforms, Netflix will no longer be supported on as many as 60 different models of smart TVs in just a few weeks.
If you’re worried about your TV becoming obsolete for streaming your favorite shows, there’s some relief: the affected models are all about ten years old. So, if you’re using an older TV, it might be time for an upgrade.
While most smart TVs are capable of supporting Netflix, certain older models will no longer be compatible. This includes 16 different models of Sony TVs and two generations of Apple TV, along with an additional 42 Sony TV models.
