Very interesting to see. Samsung have also removed Netflix support on older models up to about 2015.

Maybe companies are pulling out of the 'Smart TV' scene due to the influx of HDMI devices.

If I'm honest, as someone who works specifically in this field (smart TV app ecosystem) - there's a lot of progress to prevent obsolescence. Samsung tend to not join these initiatives. Majority of manufacturers are starting to work together to centralise testing and support. Look up HbbTV if you're interested!

Not doing a very good job at the moment whatever they are doing.
I have a small HTPC with a full W10 install. Best why to circumvent any issues
Another letter, I have an exact date they are coming to visit me and prosecute me for watching TV illegally.
In tiny writing at the bottom of the letter.
May visit on that date or another and can prosecute of found to be watching TV without a license and if I don't but a license.
They really are scumbags the way they word the letters.
I was going to start returning it all to the sender with "not known at this address" even though they say legal owner.

That's a good idea, if everyone did that they might not send them out.

They were addressing their enforcement letters in my name, but then reverted to the legal owner again.

Theres nothing they can do can they?
Do they have the power to break down the door to see if your watching the tv?
Its only if they can prove your watching tv without a licence (detector) ect

Worth listening to.
Youtube has better current affairs programs than the BBC, just saying...

What about if you watched a BBC show on Netflix such as Sherlock, would you then have to pay the license fee?

I've had a few of these when I moved house, don't even own a TV.
Ignore every single one.

Nope.
You're paying Netflix to view the content, who will have paid the BBC for the right to do so.
Ah that’s good to know.
Might cancel mine then as I only watch YouTube, Netflix and Amazon prime video.
All 3 which I pay for.
Boris should go further....
Move BBC HQ to poorest nastiest part of UK
Stop the License being a legal matter
Dont give it to anyone free and make BBC pay
Force em to cap the CEO pay and better reflect UK
Also fellas just burn the letters it is a desperation tactic i sent mine to the bin since they first started. Good ole BBC wastage.
