My son had netflix on this TV and it needed a little box to connect with Netflix
Is the box connected to the TV?
It was when he was usung Netflix
Can you connect it now?
No I don't have it. He took it away
If you don't have a smart TV, you can use a streaming device like Chromecast, Roku or Firestick to stream movies and series on Netflix on your TV. Do you have any of these or similar you can use?
No. Can Netflix supply one of these devices with instructions
No, because Netflix is not affiliated with these services
Where do I go now
You'd need 1 of these devices to stream Netflix to a non-smart TV
Where Do I get one
You can ask your son to return it or order one from their official sites like Amazon. If you can tell me which one you'd like to order I can guide you through the purchase
Firestick
Do you have an Amazon account?
NO
You'd need to have an Amazon account to order their TV Firestick. Would you like help with setting that up?
Is one of the others available in New Zealand
You can order a Chromecast, here's one in one of the NZ online stores that I found: https://www.harveynorman.co.nz/networking-smart-home-and-home-phones/networking/chromecast-and-streaming/google-chromecast-2018.html
I will get this box. Please can you give me an email address so I can get back to you.
Sure, we're available at help@howly.com

Iβm glad I was able to get that sorted out for you. Is there anything else I can assist you with today?
No Thank you
