These older Fire TV models first launched on the market back in 2014 and technically haven’t been supported by Amazon for a long time, with zero software or security updates in the past few years. Plus, with those devices having weaker hardware and lesser performance, most affected users will likely have switched to newer models by now.It’s not exactly clear why Netflix is ending support for old Fire TV devices, but it could have something to do with Netflix using newer standards such as the AV1 codec to stream with better picture quality, particularly for customers who are on the Premium plan. Do you think that Netflix need to be more flexible and support all formats ?
