What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

And what's more impressive is there seemed to be a woman in a the bottom left corner of a few frames that was actually translating in real time into sign language.
It seems like something would be lost in the translation.

Hello all,
It looks like Netflix will arrive soon to Spain (it was about time)...
We do have a Smart TV model from 2010, it's a very nice FullHD TV, but it does not has a Netflix application...
So... how does Netflix arrive to let's say a "Dumb" TV?
Do I need some kind of box?
I have seen Apple TV, Roku... it looks like all of them can do it, which would be your recommendation?
Believe it or not I have Googled it and I have found only plenty of disgusted people because my TV doesn't have the Netflix app, some people recommending those boxes, people recommending to plug the computer directly to the TV, raspberry Pi solutions, and even some people trying to stream the content using media servers...
Any advice to separate all this noise?
Thank you in advance!

I would not like to have a computer nor a phone active during that... Apart of that the couple of Chromecasts I installed on my parents TVs are working great, not tried Netflix, but...

Yes, you will need some sort of "box" that will connect to the internet and to your TV. That can be Google's ChromeCast or a Roku box or something similar. If you have a DVD player it may also have Netflix on it or you can buy one with the Netflix app in it.
If you have a Nintendo Wii you can download the Netflix app for free to that.
If your TV has an HDMI port then your options are many.
I think the cheapest if you don't already have a "box" (and you have a smartphone) is the ChromeCast and the netflix app on your smartphone.

Thank you!
That's what I thought, but you know, it is always better to ask...

My cable box has Netflix built in.
However it often doesn't work well so I plug my laptop into a HDMI port and stream through that.
I think my Bluray player also has a Netflix App.

The best option out there is the one you are doing: no format problems, it works always... but I don't want to have to connect/disconnect the laptop each day I arrive home, I want my wife to be able to see the TV while I'm out... After what I've read I'll search for a box that can do it.
Thanks!

Ah you see, my laptop is not a work one and doesn't travel with me. In fact it mostly lives on a little table next to the TV when not being used for something. I had to talk my wife through getting it on the TV yesterday. She coped with plugging it in but didn't know how to get the display on the TV.

If you can't get it on your TV or cable box (Or similar device), yeah, you'll need a dedicated box.
I like Roku... They were the first ones to offer a decent product in that niche, and I used a Roku box until I got my first Smart TV... Simple and effective.

Can ROKU access DLNA content? I've read some places that say it can and some others that say it can't...
I have serviio in my computer and sometimes the TV can't read some formats... that could help too...
This could be a great improvement: I could have all my networked/dlna content available as the Netflix internet streaming...
Thank you!

If you want it cheap, get a Chromecast, if you like me prefer to have a remote, then an Appletv will suffice.
But before you go shopping, check for updates to your TV, there might be a Netflix app around that just didn't get installed because there was no Netflix around in Spain.
What TV and model is it?
|
|
|
|
|
Yep, once it arrives I'll check if the app has appeared, but even if I go to NetTV and search for international applications I can't see Netflix so I think they won't make it...
The TV is a Philips 40PFL7605/12.

I checked, and it seems like it's to old.

How nice!
Just before they arrive here they start cancelling contracts... 
Hadn't heard about epix... so can't plenty understand what does it means...
|
|

|
|
Of the many films that you can stream from Netflix most of them are under a license agreement from Epix

So... somehow they've managed to kill the service before arriving here...

That is just in the US I think.
At least in the UK their licensing and content is different and won't be affected by that decision.

No because it's already half the service they get in the US (or rather have been getting up to now).
