Netflix will stop working on these TVs next month - and people are furious

Netflix is the go-to streaming service for many, but soon it will stop working on several popular makes of TV.

From the start of next month, Netflix will no longer be supported on Samsung's 2010 and 2011 smart TVs, the Mirror reports.

Samsung says this is due to 'technical limitations'.

A spokesperson said: “Samsung was recently notified by Netflix that as of 1 December, the Netflix app will no longer be supported on selected 2010 and 2011 Smart TV models sold in Canada and the US.

"For consumers with these models, there are still many other devices supported by Netflix that can be connected to a Smart TV in order to access the app.”

And the changes don’t stop there - seven older Roku streaming sticks will also no longer be supported from next month.

These include the Roku 2050X, Roku 2100X, Roku 2000C, Roku HD Player, Roku SD Player, Roku XR Player and Roku XD Player.

Unsurprisingly, many users are annoyed about the change, which could mean they’re forced to buy a new TV or streaming stick to continue watching Netflix.

One user tweeted: “That’s pretty stupid and unfair. They will have to get a casting device now.”
