Forget the shiny stuff they ship with their TVs with and use an external hardware instead. It's not ideal but you'd be amazed by the things a Raspberry Pi2 can do when wired to a TV.
- throwaway049 11y agoMy 5 year old Sony TV can no longer support Netflix and can't be upgraded. External hardware is absolutely the way to go.
- Sarki 11y agoIndeed! On the plus side you can benefit from your hardware with other viewing medium. With a HDMI switch I can watch some Netflix either on my TV or my video projector this way - Not on a Pi though as Netflix uses proprietary encryption which is a pain to setup for it. But other things like a WDTV HD does the job fairly decently.
