Why do all three of the UK pay-TV providers include Netflix in their hardware? It’s because they all also include standard Netflix as part of their digital TV packages.
Virgin Media and BT also have the app pre-installed on their TV boxes and ready for you to use. The Sky Q box, for example, has a dedicated spot for Netflix in the on-demand section of its main menu and will recommend Netflix shows on the home screen. If you have an existing digital TV subscription through Sky, BT or Virgin Media then you can watch Netflix through your set-top box. If you have Sky Glass, Sky’s smart TV, you can open and search Netflix using the voice-controlled remote. You can log in with your existing account and start watching where you left off on your other devices. The process of installing the app will vary based on your television, but the app will always be free to download. If the app isn’t already installed, just open your TV’s app store and search for Netflix. The remote may even have a dedicated Netflix button to open the app. If your TV was sold as Netflix-ready, the app should already be installed and waiting when you set it up for the first time. Having the app installed and a Netflix account signed in are all you need to watch Netflix on your TV.
If you have a Smart TV, you probably already have access to the Netflix app.
