Yesterday Netflix main screen has changed. Instead of having a graphic and the program title for each programme it now has just a black rectangle and the title below it. If I click the programme name I can still watch but I wonder where the graphics have gone. Any ideas?

I notice you are using Android based devices to cast so I can not help but my iOS devices are working as per normal since today's update.

 

Have you talked to their help desk: https://help.netflix.com/en scroll to bottom of page for live chat or to voice call.

 

Cheers 🍷

No I don't use Android devices for Netflix I use a Windows PC HMDI connected to TV. Wasn't sure if it was something at my end but all other streaming services seem OK
