Nowadays, streaming platforms for series and movies have become a service available in almost every home, as users prefer to choose what they want to watch and when, rather than conforming to what the traditional TV offers the moment it is turned on.
Although there are many options, the number one is Netflix, and the amount of content it offers means that there are series and movies to suit everyone’s tastes. Moreover, this service is a reference in its sector with changes that others have copied, such as searching for shared passwords or offering plans with ads.
These changes, like the rest of the new features they introduce on their platform, are always in principle intended to improve the user experience, although in these supposed improvements, there are occasions when it negatively affects them.
A clear example of this is the recent change that Netflix will implement starting September 1st to optimize resources and improve performance on more modern devices, which means that all TVs manufactured before 2015 will no longer be compatible with the app.
The company explained that this decision is necessary to advance technology and leave behind devices that are no longer able to provide the user experience that the company intends to provide.
What to do if Netflix is not compatible with your TV?
If your TV is more than 10 years old, it will likely no longer be compatible with Netflix as of September 1st, but fortunately, if you want to keep watching Netflix without changing your TV, you have a few options.
The most popular option in recent years is to use devices like Amazon Fire Stick, Google Chromecast, and Roku, which act as an intermediary between your TV and the streaming content. You can also opt for more traditional methods, like having the app on your computer and connecting it to your TV via HDMI.
