Firmware update WD TV

Hello

is there still No firmware update that allows Netflix etc in the netherlands for WD TV, which I bought
new in 2015 .???:neutral_face:

nope 
 and most likely never will be

want Netflix ? buy a device that supports it :slightly_smiling:

Sorry but I don’t understand why WD don’t release a new firmware for WD TV, Here in Italy now we have Netflix but WD TV doesn’t support yet !!!
Very disappointed about that.

what are talking about ?
this is the 2014 WDTV Media Player Forum 
 this device does not support Netflix

And if WD stopped supporting Netflix on this “latest” device, most probably means they’re not supporting / updating the older devices either.

To include Netflix in devices like the WDTV requires the device maker to put a pricy licensed chip in the player that prevents copying Netflix stream from the device.

I am sure WD looked at all the newer TVs with built in Netflix and decided not to put it into their devices anymore.

My TV is a 2010 Panasonic that did not have the chip, the next year’s model did, so it had built-in Netflix. All along I had a Roku that played Netflix, so I was never affected by any of this chip stuff, and subsequently never used the Netflix feature of the WDTV other than to see how well it worked (the Roku did better, BTW.)
