Netflix Party

Like other streaming devices, Roku streaming boxes and Roku TV smart televisions can also be used to view Netflix. Since Roku refers to its apps as channels, the terminology is slightly different, but the distinction is just slight. Connecting your device to the internet and downloading the Roku Netflix channel are the only requirements for using Roku and Netflix.

How to Check whether Netflix Works With Your Roku

There's a risk you won't be able to watch Netflix Party using your Roku because Netflix doesn't support some older Roku hardware. This was a direct consequence of Roku discontinuing support for specific outdated hardware. Roku no longer upgrades those devices, so Netflix is unable to maintain the most recent version of their software.

This termination of service affects Roku units from both the first and second generations. This implies that your Roku won't likely operate with Netflix if it was made before 2011.

The following Roku models no longer support Netflix: Roku HD, HD-XR, SD, XD, XDS, as well as the Netgear-branded Roku XD and XDS devices.

It should still function with Netflix if you have a third generation or later Roku player that was created after 2011. That might alter in the future, though, if Netflix is compelled to follow Roku's lead and ceases supporting outdated technology.
