[kwlug-disc] TV watching / Kodi / Netflix

[Colin Mackay]

Well, it looks like I'm sticking with status quo for now.  At least until
all my TV's are Smart TV's with Netflix built in.  Now on to the massive
quagmire of Android TV boxes to sift through ones that are worth looking
into. :)

Thanks for the input, folks.

Maybe one day Netflix will start offering streaming via HTML5...  One can
dream. ;)
