1 min read
Summary
Netflix is set to withdraw support for Amazon Fire TV versions 1st Generation, Fire TV Stick and the Fire TV Stick with Alexa Voice Remote, with the last of these set to take place on 3 June.
Users of the relevant devices will not be able to log on to Netflix via their hardware after that date, although they will still be able to use the Netflix app on their mobile devices and connect to their TV using that route.
According to reports, Amazon is offering affected customers discounts on new Fire TV models.
The development underlines the issue of compatibility and support for streaming services among the wide array of available devices, something that is often overlooked by both vendors and consumers.
