Streaming Netflix from smart TV
If your smart TV can allow you to install applications, then Netflix will be available or your remote can have a Netflix button as Netflix works with most of the TV manufacturers to provide Netflix streaming services to their customers. The first step is to connect your TV to your network via the internet port, mostly at the back or at one side of the television. You can also connect via a wireless connection by selecting the network via internet settings and then entering a password using the remote control.
Step two is to open TV apps by pressing the “My Apps” button from the remote. The buttons may vary from TV to TV. Select the Netflix app and press enter or OK on your remote. If you do not have the Netflix app, you will need to download it from Smart TV’s app store. Installation procedures also vary depending on your TV brand manufacturer and in some cases, you may need to update the firmware first to access the applications.
If you can successfully launch the app from the TV, the remaining steps to start streaming is to log in with your username and password and then using the remote to navigate between movies. Highlight the movie you wish to watch and press OK on the remote to play.
