    May I stream videos from Netflix on 49SK8100PLA?

    If your TV can connect to the internet, it's probably a smart TV. To watch Netflix on your TV, you'll need a good internet connection and a subscription to Netflix. You can set up your TV to connect to the internet and find the Netflix app. If you can't find the Netflix app or if it's not listed as a supported app, contact 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.
