Netflix app will soon stop working on certain TV's after it's removed

A warning has been issued to avid telly lovers as Netflix is set to stop working on many devices.

We know this is absolutely terrifying advice in the midst of a Bridgerton drop, but it's always best to be on the safe side.

If, like me, you watch Netflix through a built-in app on your TV you could be in for quite the shock.

Sony have issued some information that states 42 of its Bravia-branded TV's are going to be left unable to stream Netflix due to 'technical limitations'.

They added: "You can continue to use the Netflix app on your TV until July 23, 2024."

After then, the option will be removed from your 'Apps' menu.

The television affected are models made and released in 2014.

Despite it being worrying if your TV is one of those affected, don't panic.

There's no expectation that you need to go out and get another television.

There are ways around it.

For example, you can Chromecast a Netflix show by using your smartphone, invest in a Firestick to act as a third party streamer for Netflix, Disney+, Amazon Prime, BBC iPlayer and more, or use a gaming console such as a PlayStation or Xbox to access the Netflix app and watch your favourite shows to your heart's content.
