    Can I watch Netflix on Bravia KD-65A1
    lawrence_kessler
    over 1 year ago
    If your TV is listed as a smart TV, it should be able to connect to the internet and run apps like Netflix. To watch Netflix on your TV, you'll need to have a good internet connection and a subscription to Netflix. You can check with the company that made your TV to see if it can be added or if it's not supported on your specific model. Once you have everything set up, you'll be able to watch your favorite shows and movies on your TV just like you would on a smart TV.
