Legal Streaming

Jovem

Hi, I'm a Netflix, Amazon Prime and Now TV subscriber. I want to get all three services on a new tv in the kitchen. I want either a smart tv or discrete streaming box that will allow me to legally access all three easily. Suggestions appreciated.

I think LG TV's and Samsung TV's are the only devices that will run all three.
The Nvidia Shield (Although not really discrete) can run Netflix and Amazon, but to use Now TV it requires casting, also i am not sure how stable that is.

Thanks for the response. We have an LG TV. Now TV (Irish Account) won't work on it. Has anyone else got all three working on a Samsung tv?

It says on the NowTV link above, that only selected models for LG work, but does not say which ones.

Smart TVs and devices

• LG: selected Smart TV models
• Samsung TVs: 2016 and 2017 models only (see the Samsung info here for details). Please note: NOW TV isn't supported on the Samsung Serif range of TVs.
• Chromecast

Chromecast would not be ideal for watching live TV.

This may help for the LG TV

For newer LG tvs you can set different broadcast and online content countries, if you select Ireland as the second, the nowtv app should work in Ireland, works fine for me anyway. I also subscribe to those 3 services with no issues, handy having no extra boxes and the single remote

My 2016 Samsung TV has Netflix, Amazon Prime and RTE Player built in and I installed All 4 and Now TV myself. Both were only recently available to install. 3 Player stil isn't available
