Netflix support for KD55X8509C Android TV

Hi All;

 

Is Netflix available for the KD55X8509C TV pls?

 

I cannot believe that Sony has released a TV which includes the Netflix button on their remote control but no support for Netflix?

 

Many thanks

 

Lucio

Can you check the verison number of Netflix? If it's newer than 2.1 can you try running APK Extractor and posting it somewhere? apkmirror.com will be intersted too

It might be under Help in the netflix app - if you're not sure follow my instructions in my earlier posts on how to install apk extractor - if it proves to difficult don't wory - I'm just being impatient

 

I don't think Sony knew what they were letting themselves in for releasing a TV that appeals to Android Geeks

Hmm that's the same build version (425) maybe it's something that needed switching on at the Netflix side - I'll check tonight

Hi all just another update:

 

A fellow member is correct in mentioning the FW update on June 15th.

I have just had official word that this update is still expected on June 15th and that

after updating then the 'official' version of Netflix will be working.
