The statement said: "Due to technical limitations, Netflix will no longer be supported on some devices beginning on 1 December 2019.

“Some older Samsung smart TVs are affected by this change.

“In the future, Netflix can be viewed from many other devices capable of connecting to your TV."

Samsung shared a list of the Netflix-compatible devices, saying: "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.”

Some Roku users have also begun receiving notifications that their devices will no longer have access to Netflix come December, with Roku also citing "technical difficulties".
