Hi
I understand that with the last version of firmware , I can install newer versions of Netflix.
I installed version 5.10.0 and it works . But with the 2.06 firmware came an older version.
Any advice about wich one to install ?
Thanks a lot any answer.

Install the newer version.

HiMedia are just slow in catching up with latest version of apps in their firmwares.

Even more simpler is to update it through the Play Store. Do that for all apps, preinstalled or not.

Yes.  It does not have the required Widevine level of "handicapped stream protection" needed to offer HD playback.
HDCP locked down stops media players from having many freedoms with HD video.
