I recently learned that Netflix will stop service on some TV devices such as Roku, Samsung and Vizio in early December. It was initially unclear why the streaming service would not support the old hardware. Netflix stated on its support page that this change should be blamed on unspecified "technical limitations." However, Netflix has further explained its reason, and now we know why you will lose access to these devices.
A Netflix spokesperson told Gizmodo: "We have informed all affected members of more information about the alternative devices we support so that they can enjoy Netflix without interruption.
The reason Netflix will stop working is related to Netflix, the DRM solution for services, which helps prevent piracy. The company has been using Micros of tPlay Ready technology since 2010. Old devices that cannot be updated to play ready will stop playing Netflix on December 2.
Roku told Gizmodo that old Roku gadgets that cannot be updated to Play Ready are eight to ten years old-models that do not support Netflix include RokuSD (N1050), RokuHD-XR (N1101), RokuHD (N1100, 2000C), and RokuX D (2050X, 2050N, 2100X, 2100N).
Samsung smart TVs selected to be sold in the United States and Canada in 2010 and 2011 will also not be able to run Netflix, and Samsung cited the same "technical restrictions." As for Vizio, apps sold between 2012 and 2014 include smart TVs with Vizio internet apps.
An easy way to restore Netflix access to your TV is to connect a new streaming media player to it from Amazon, Google, Roku, or Apple. In addition, around the corner of Black Friday, you will find a large number of discount streaming devices and brand new large-screen TVs.
