Some devices and companies announced that their old products will stop supporting the Netflix application from December 1, which means the suffering of Netflix users who rely on viewing on those devices, and therefore need to change and update its model if they want to continue to enjoy the features of the service.

It started two days ago when Samsung announced that some of their older smart TVs had stopped supporting Netflix, followed by news that Vizio TVs would also lose support.

Asked by Samsung officials about the reasons or even the specific types of devices that will no longer be able to provide service to their owners, the company's spokesmen declined to provide any details as stated on the website "Digital Trends", but only to justify what will happen with what they called "restrictions" Technology. "

Those with Samsung devices that will not be able to broadcast Netflix will still be able to view the streaming service via game consoles, media players, or multimedia streamers such as Amazon Fire TV and Roku. ), Although some Roku devices will also lose their service from next month.

According to Roko spokesman, the devices that will not be able to provide Netflix service in a few weeks are the models (Roku 2050X, Roku 2100X, Roku 2000C, Roku HD Player, Roku SD Player, Roku XR Player, Roku XD Player) .

However, whether they own Samsung TVs or Roku devices, the two companies intend to contact them by December 1 to let them know what will happen.For those who want to know this, they can check it by exploring the list of Netflix devices that support its services.

Netflix loses its subscribers
Of course, this has angered many Netflix subscribers, and made them think about canceling their subscription and looking for alternatives with better chances of believing that Netflix is ​​no longer safe.

On the one hand, subscribers have not overcome their resentment and threat to Netflix's recent decision to block users from sharing passwords with friends or family members, meaning that people who share their accounts with others will have to pay the full fee on their own.

On the other hand, an alternative solution to the problem of "technical limitations" may become financially costly for many, not everyone has the luxury of replacing their devices with a newer one, in which case they will have to resort to use the application Netflix via mobile phones and tablets or computer.

Will it happen in the future?
This alternative, though seemingly easy, would make watching and watching your favorite artwork not impossible, but not very practical. More importantly, with the expansion of the streaming services market, the same effects may come on devices supporting other services such as Apple TV. Plus or even Disney Plus, which will be launched in the United States within days, and the same may happen for Netflix with other devices in the future.

This in turn raises many questions that we need definitive answers from the owners of these services, especially since one of the reasons that make the broadcast platforms favorite and widely accepted because they are available to watch anytime and anywhere, unlike DVD or Blu-ray players.

But now that this is under threat, will this affect the conviction of fans of drama and cinema with the idea of ​​broadcasting platforms as a whole and reduce the number of subscribers? Or are platforms still able to attract viewers?
