How to get Netflix to non smart TV

Options
I don't really want to buy another piece of kit. We have android phones, Now TV boxes, laptops and tablets. The TV has a USB port.

Is my only option laptop to TV using a USB cable?

Or is there an app for anything we have that would cast Netflix? Or can I side load something to a Now TV box?

Apologies if I haven't used the correct terminology, I'm catching up slowly. :D

    I think Roku support Netflix, along with other providers. You can get the basic 'stick' model for £30-odd, comes with a remote or you can use your phone.

    It's not the cheapest option, but the Apple TV supports Netflix.

    Wow that was quick.

    Yes I did a search and trawled this forum, obviously the wrong one though.

    I'll read the thread.

    The Humax YouView boxes since a recent update also have netflix (plus many other features such as recording, on-demand players and freeview to analogue if you need that), and can be used with basically any TV likely to be in use today. There's HDMI output, which covers anything modern, but also scart for the older TVs - which I use to connect it to my set from 1983! Unfortunately the YouView is a reasonably big box, but it does do a lot of stuff, and for me has replaced everything but the DVD player, making the TV area much tidier. Since I bought it a couple of years ago it has steadily received updates and new features.

    I also have netflix added to my firestick. But as my children and I normally use Kodi which is also on the stick I am thinking of cancelling netflix.
