Netflix has announced it will cease supporting its service on certain older smart TVs and gaming consoles starting in December 2023. This decision affects devices that no longer meet the streaming service's minimum operating requirements, thereby preventing users on these older platforms from accessing Netflix content. In response to the upcoming discontinuation, customers are encouraged to switch to alternative streaming devices such as Roku or Amazon Fire TV sticks, which remain compatible with Netflix and are currently available at reduced prices. This move is a continuation of Netflix's ongoing efforts to phase out support on outdated hardware and ensure optimal streaming performance across its platforms. Users with unsupported devices will need to upgrade their equipment to maintain access to Netflix’s streaming service.
