Netflix announced its ending the Basic plan for Canadian subscribers, and new or rejoining members can no longer access the $9.99 tier.

    Netflix is my go-to for streaming services. Mainly because there’s a dedicated “Netflix” button on my Shield remote that I keep hitting on accident.

        Remapped it to Jellyfin app on mine. Kind of ironic :)

      the only regret I have is the inability to bind my jellyfin app to my remote Netflix button.

      there was a redditor that was insisting that it was Nvidia paying Netflix millions and millions of dollars for the privilege of having a dedicated netflix button on the remote, and not the opposite, Netflix paying Nvidia millions of dollars to have a sponsored button the remote
