If you are also enjoying Netflix through your old fire tv Stick, then this news may be a little disappointing for you. Netflix has made it clear that from june 2, 2025, its service will stop on some old amazon fire tv devices.
Why was this decision taken?
Actually, Netflix is now going to adopt a new and more advanced video format AV1. This technology has the ability to show better quality video in less data, but the problem is that old devices do not support it. Especially those amazon fire tv models which were launched in 2014 and 2016.
Which users will be affected?
Those who have first generation fire tv Stick, 2014 fire tv or fire tv Stick with Alexa Voice Remote launched in 2016 will have trouble running Netflix. After june 2, these devices will not support Netflix.
What to do now?
If you are using these old devices and Netflix is an important part of your entertainment, then this is the right time to upgrade your setup. New-age devices like the fire tv Stick 4K come with better speed, great picture quality and the latest technology. Currently, this device is available on amazon and flipkart for around ₹5999 (though the price may fluctuate).
Technology is changing rapidly and old devices are becoming outdated with time. If you want to watch your favorite show or movie on Netflix without interruption, then investing in a new device has now become a must.
