Hopefully some of you Techie guys can help me. I've just recently joined Netflix but can't figure out what is the best way to stream Netflix straight to mytelevision?

I have a Sony Bravia kdl-32ex403 television pre 2011 and a Humax HDR FOX T2 Freeview Box and my trusty Dell Laptop. At the moment if I want to watch Netflix on my telly I have to connect the computer directly to either the Television or the Humax

I've connected a Homeplug to my Netgear Router and another one, in turn to the Humax and the Sony. When connected to either of them I am capable of receiving online content but I can't figure out how, or if, I can get Netflix direct to the television. There is an app there for Love Film but I can't find one for Netflix!

From what I'm reading on other forums it appears that my Sony Bravia will NOT be capable of receiving Netflix. I'm not to sure of the Humax.

My question is this: what is the best, and least expensive, way of streaming my Netflix direct to my televison? Or will I have to connect my television to my laptop everytime I want to watch a film on Netflix on the TV

As always many thanks for you suggestions
