If you have a relatively recent console - from the Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3 and up - you'll be able to access Netflix on it. Likewise your Blu-ray player or gaming console might have a Netflix app. Almost every device of the Netflix devices we'll mention below use HDMI connections.

If you're not using the TV's built-in smart platform, you'll want to be sure the TV has an HDMI port. Streaming device or game console: While some TVs have Netflix apps built-in, many people watch Netflix on TV using a separate device connected to their TVs. The app may be older, slower and not as slick as the modern version, but if you want to access Netflix right now, it should still work. Modern TVs integrate streaming services like Netflix into an interface known as "smart TV." While some TVs have a dedicated Netflix button on the remote, most compatible models have a smart TV button that should let you access the streaming apps available.

Smart TV: If you have a flat-screen TV manufactured in the last 10 years you can probably already watch Netflix on it. If you really don't want to buy a new TV just to get Netflix, you may be able to find one of the former versions - just look for the tell-tale AV-out port. Roku used to make a streamer with analog out called the Roku Express Plus, but has been replaced with a model with HDMI only. If you have an older, analog TV without HDMI, sadly these options won't work for you. Bear in mind that all of the options below presume either Netflix is on board your TV or you have a modern TV with an HDMI port.
#NETFLIX CLIENT INSTALL#
The app is free, but of course you'll need to install it on the device first. Just like on your phone, there's a Netflix app for TVs and other devices including media streamers and video game consoles. Once you have an account and internet connectivity, you'll need a device to watch Netflix on.
