1445183 2018-01-21 03:50:00 Greetings from OZ

I am looking for a way for my ill mother who lives in NZ to watch Netflix, A smart Tv would be easy but cannot find one under 27 inch, anyone know of one?

Here I have Telstra TV (its an american Roku Rebranded) here which would be ok anything like it in nz?

Would apple tv be suitable? never seen one in action

What about WD tv?

I know i could use a chromecast but it would take me a fair bit of Training but would do it if i couldn't find anything better. prefer a one stop type setup

Anyone know of a good android tv box?

Thanks
Dean

Roku aren’t officially sold here, so don’t have any local services services.

I don't know anyone who has tried any of the android devices to comment, but there are plenty around cheaply that should work in theory.

There's things like the intel compute stick, but windows 10 could take a lot of training itself.

For a not so computer literate friend of mine I put Linux on an old core 2 duo machine, loaded chrome onto it, and bookmarked netflix. Works pretty well and cost me almost nothing.
The touble with a pc though is you become the IT support person.

i would do an android box if it was for me, bit to techie for mum so i think that a blu ray netflix player may be the best option.

Thanks for the replies
