If you can't get it on your TV or cable box (Or similar device), yeah, you'll need a dedicated box.
I like Roku... They were the first ones to offer a decent product in that niche, and I used a Roku box until I got my first Smart TV... Simple and effective.

Can ROKU access DLNA content? I've read some places that say it can and some others that say it can't...
I have serviio in my computer and sometimes the TV can't read some formats... that could help too...
This could be a great improvement: I could have all my networked/dlna content available as the Netflix internet streaming...
Thank you!

If you want it cheap, get a Chromecast, if you like me prefer to have a remote, then an Appletv will suffice.
But before you go shopping, check for updates to your TV, there might be a Netflix app around that just didn't get installed because there was no Netflix around in Spain.
What TV and model is it?
|
|
|
|
|
Yep, once it arrives I'll check if the app has appeared, but even if I go to NetTV and search for international applications I can't see Netflix so I think they won't make it...
The TV is a Philips 40PFL7605/12.

I checked, and it seems like it's to old.

How nice!
Just before they arrive here they start cancelling contracts... 
Hadn't heard about epix... so can't plenty understand what does it means...
|

Of the many films that you can stream from Netflix most of them are under a license agreement from Epix

So... somehow they've managed to kill the service before arriving here...

That is just in the US I think.
At least in the UK their licensing and content is different and won't be affected by that decision.

No because it's already half the service they get in the US (or rather have been getting up to now).

I highly recommend the Western Digital Media Player[^]. I've owned one for years - it's very versatile, reliable and easy to use. Just make sure it's compatible with Netflix Spain.

It looks very good...
This could help in all my Serviio/LAN streaming... as it looks like it supports all the formats under the sun.
What I've not seen is that it is compatible with Netflix... not in Spain but not in any other place too...
Is it compatible with Netflix in your country?

The Western Digital WD TV Live Plus model supports Netflix in US, Canada and Australia, and perhaps other countries. See this[^] PC Mag review. But I think it's best to confirm Netflix Spain support with Western Digital before buying it.

I use a Home Theatre PC with Windows 7 and a wireless keyboard with mouse...works good!
|
|
|
|
|
That's an option... another one would be a RaspberryPi or similar and control it from the phone...
Yours is in fact the best in terms of supported formats, openess, new services... the problem is the comfort in the couch... which after working all the day with computers I would like to have...

You can get an HTPC case, then it just looks like another stereo component. If you auto-run Kodi or similar, you never have to see Windows 
Kodi has add-ons that let you run it from an Android / iOS device through the network if you want...kinda neat but I still prefer my mini-wireless keyboard and keep my tablet for surfing the net while I watch TV.
Kodi also has an add-on that lets you run Netflix inside Kodi...I haven't tried it, myself.

We use a new Sony Blueray player with it and several other things built in, but you still need a high speed internet conection.
|

Won't 10mbps DSL be enough?
It is what we have in our small village...
It works with our current FullHD streaming service...

A Xbox will also do the trick, if you already have one.
|
|
|
|
|
That would be the way to get one...
Mrs. Wife... we need an XBOX... you know it is only for Netflix...
No... I've never had a console and I won't start it right now... I just don't have time to play games, but if they would not be so expensive it would be an option.

I use the Xbox (or kindle). My kid uses his Wii, but he also has a blue ray player that will do it. Both the Xbox and the blue ray can connect to the wire, but the wii can only use wireless.
Last weekend I finally got around to hooking up a wireless router just for the kid's many devices.
