Interesting. The people I've heard complaining about netflix on set top boxes don't have issues with it on actual android phones or tablets, just on the set tops, such as the older google Nexus. So I wonder why it works on some and not others, especially the nexus brand. There has been speculation

for the love of keeping things simple I’m referring to the Sony Android TV as “Free To Air” TV as it has nothing whatever to do with Cable or Satellite TV unless you connect an external Set Top Box to the TV itself so - for the purposes of that discussion Satellite and Cable boxes don’t mean

I will be interested to know how you get on with things like netflix and other non-google things, including that program guide, although wouldn't your program guide come from your cable or satelite provider, assuming you have one, of course? Mary

No, the boxes I'm talking about are set-top boxes, not full tvs. The Shield, which is the most expensive of the lot, runs $200 or so. The nexus is the original one from google, and rumor has it that a new one will be forthcoming this year. It was selling quite cheap over here a few months back, on
