Are you already subscribed to Netflix, then?

Okay, you have subscribed, then you are already using an operator that can use Netflix or continue to use the Telkom group but use VPN. Now how do you watch Netflix? Which is most likable?

1. Watch through via cellphone

Watching Netflix on mobile is the most unpleasant way because of the small screen, and the resulting sound is not optimal for viewing serials or movies that are a pity to miss. But looking through cell phones is also an option because there is an Rp.49,000 package from Netflix that can see only on cellphones.

2. Watch through a laptop or iPad

I merge them into one category because I consider the experience to enjoy Netflix the same on a laptop and an iPad, maybe only distinguished from the screen size. You can use the Netflix.com website or download the application in the Windows Store / App Store. There is a difference in playback quality when watching through a website and in a Windows Application. When using the application, it is inevitable that if you subscribe to the highest package, you can broadcast it in 4K quality. While the website depends on the browser used. And also on Windows applications can store serials or movies offline, while in the browser, it can’t.

3. Watch via Chromecast

Chromecast is a streaming device from Google that is easy to use. We only should attach the Chromecast to HDMI on the TV. The USB cable can plug into the adaptor or to the USB cable on the TV. All navigation of this Chromecast is using a cellphone. So the Netflix app is open on the cellphone, then when the Chromecast set, there will be a TV-like display that can click on to connect to the Chromecast to the TV. When selecting a series or movie to play, the movie or series will play on Chromecast on TV, not on a cellphone.

4. Using an Android TV box

This fourth method can use if you have an Android TV box at home. Android TV uses the Android application, then open the application inside Android TV. If you don’t have it, you can install it through Playstore, and if not, you can download the APK on several websites that provide it. But here it is tricky if you use an APK, some APKs are not compatible so that they cannot run movies and serials. So you should try some suitable APKs. But because it is on TV, it becomes a fantastic viewing experience.

5. Using a Smart TV that supports Netflix

This is the easiest and most convenient way to watch Netflix. If you have a Smart TV that already supports Netflix, then it is sure that there is an application inside the TV. Either it is an Android TV or uses a system that is used by each TV manufacturer, such as WebOS on LG or Tizen OS on Samsung. Usually, all Netflix features are open here. TV that supports features like 4K HDR, Dolby adds to the enjoyment of watching.
