‘We’ve notified all impacted members with more information about alternative devices we support so they can keep enjoying Netflix uninterrupted,’ it said.

Samsung has confirmed that the change will affect ‘select 2010, 2011 Smart TV models sold in Canada and the US’.  

‘Consumers with these select models will see a notification from Netflix informing them of this change when they open the app on their Smart TV,’ the company said.

‘For consumers with these models, there are still many other devices supported by Netflix that can be connected to a Smart TV in order to access the app.’
