Nie, dziękuję Przekieruj mnie tamI have version KYGRMR.-.-.-.-.-.V07.034.36 installed on my TV. However, applications such as Netflix are no longer supported
Why support ends
• Application vendors raise security baselines (e.g. TLS 1.2+, Widevine L1, HDCP 2.2) and add codecs (HEVC Main10, AV1, Dolby Vision).
• Older Grundig firmware branches (MB95/MB97 chassis) cannot be patched easily, so Netflix delists them from its compatibility matrix.
• Manufacturer focus shifts to new models after 4-6 years; no new root-CA bundles or DRM certificates are issued, causing log-in or playback failure.
Can firmware be updated?
• Automatic OTA server for this generation is already switched off.
• A final package sometimes labelled “V08.xx.xx” exists for a few 2016–2018 sets; you must download it from the regional Grundig support portal, unzip, copy the upgrade_<chassis>.bin file to a FAT32 USB stick and trigger emergency-flash (hold “P+” on the TV while reconnecting mains).
• If the support page shows only your current V07.034.36 or nothing at all, the platform is officially frozen. Up-flashing a file meant for a different chassis (e.g. MB100) will brick the mainboard, so do not use files from forums unless the MD5 and chassis ID match exactly.
Hardware ceiling
• CPU: dual-core ARM-A9 @ 650 MHz, insufficient for Netflix’s current VP9-P2/AV1 profiles.
• RAM: 512 MB; current Netflix TV client requires ≥1 GB for Chromium-based rendering sandbox.
• TrustZone & Widevine version: pre-L1, cannot pass new studio audits.
Symptoms you may see
• “Netflix will no longer be available on this device after …” splash screen.
• Greyed-out icon in the Grundig App‐Store.
• NSL.-108 or NW-2-5 handshake errors because TLS 1.0/1.1 are blocked by Netflix servers.
• Since Q4-2023 Netflix has been removing Linux-GTK and early HTML5 TV clients; several Sony Bravia (2013–2014), Vizio (2012–2015) and all Panasonic Viera Connect sets were retired the same way.
• Streaming sticks gain yearly silicon upgrades (AV1 decode, Wi-Fi 6/6E) and cost < €40; vendors guarantee at least 5 years of OS updates.
• TV makers increasingly separate the “panel” from the “compute” module (e.g. LG’s α-One, Samsung’s One-Connect), allowing future replacement; therefore external devices are now the dominant retrofit path.
Firmware update decision tree:

└─► If newer than V07.034.36 appears → perform USB update
else → proceed to external playerExample external setups:
| Device | Price (EU) | Max Resolution | HDR/DRM | Typical use case |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max | €39-59 | 4K/60 | HDR10+, Dolby Vision, Widevine L1 | Alexa ecosystem |
| Google Chromecast with Google TV HD/4K | €39 / €69 | up to 4K/60 | Dolby Vision, Atmos | Android/Google Home |
| Roku Streaming Stick 4K | €59 | 4K/60 | HDR10+, Dolby Vision | Brand-agnostic, simplest UI |
| Apple TV 4K (2022) | €169 | 4K/60 | HDR10+, Dolby Vision, FairPlay | best for Apple users |
• Flashing unofficial firmware may violate EU warranty law (Dir. 2019/771) and can infringe copyright if DRM modules are altered.
• Circumventing HDCP/DRM to keep using internal apps is illegal in many jurisdictions (EU InfoSoc Directive, DMCA §1201).
• External devices must comply with CE/UKCA safety and EMC directives; buy certified hardware only.
• No public roadmap from Grundig/Arçelik indicates further firmware for the MB95/MB97/MB100 platforms.
• Some early-production boards cannot boot files bigger than 32 MB; if the downloaded update exceeds this size, it will be ignored.
• A tiny number of users report success by replacing the mainboard with a later-year spare, but cost often exceeds buying a modern 4K streaming stick.
• Monitor Grundig’s regional portals for a file named similar to GTV121A_OTA_V08.xxx.xx.USB.zip.
• Check open-source projects (e.g. libreelec.tv) for support of your panel’s LVDS timing if you ever consider a DIY media-player board swap.
• Follow Netflix’s device‐support page (help.netflix.com/en/node/23944) which is updated quarterly.
Netflix support vanished because your Grundig firmware KYGRMR.-.-.-.-.-.V07.034.36 is no longer compatible with current DRM, security, and codec requirements. If no official USB update newer than V07.034.36 exists, the internal smart platform has reached end-of-life. The quickest, safest, and cheapest fix is to attach an external streaming device—restoring Netflix and giving the panel several more years of service without risking a “bricked” TV.
