So, I have a Panasonic TV with three HDMI inputs which are currently stocked with a Panasonic HDD Freeview recorder, a Panasonic Home Theatre and an OpenElec/Kodi HTPC for viewing my video library that resides on my NAS.
I'd like to know if Netflix can be added to this mix, preferably on Kodi as the Panasonics only have QuickFlix as built-in apps.
My research to date indicates that getting Netflix to work is a major pain in the a$$. At this stage I'd only be signing up to the first month's free trial and I'm not sure if it would be worth the hassle. I definitely want to watch whatever the offerings are in 1080p (I have UFB), and I've also seen indications that 720 is my best/only option.
So, what can I do? Throw out OpenElec and replace with a ChromeCast or Roku or something? Reprogramme the OpenElec with MythTV? I don't think I can cast Netflix from a device can I? I'm looking for an appliance-type solution and casting ain't. I don't expect the rest of my family to open an app on Kodi or a phone, stream it to another app on Kodi, faff around and get all techy about it. I want something that is only a couple of remote-control button-presses away. Call me difficult, but if we can send men to the moon...
Any comments appreciated! :-)
Cheers
Jon
