The shutdown affects dozens of Sony smart TVs, but Samsung models are also on the list.
Netflix says it will discontinue its app on about 60 different smart TVs starting mid-July Unilad. Naturally, this does not affect new devices: the streaming platform only stops using models that are more than ten years old.
The decision primarily affects Sony devices. Starting July 24, Netflix will no longer be available on the following models:

the hvg According to Netflix, the shutdown also affects previous Apple TV models: According to Netflix, the app will no longer be available on July 31 on 2nd and 3rd generation devices. In the second half of the year, the app will also stop working on some Samsung Smart TVs. According to the manufacturer, the change affects devices manufactured between 2010 and 2011 (D and E series) and will take effect on August 19.
Of course, you can still watch Netflix on devices in another way: it is enough to connect the TV to the laptop via the HDMI connector, or transfer the image from another device to the device.
