QUOTE(llaw @ Jan 8 2016, 08:47 PM) Do you managed to get Dolby 5.1 surround? I only get stereo despite streaming HD  Also, there's no option to select Dolby 5.1 Yes, If both your setup and the movie or TV show has DD 5.1, the option will definitely be there before hitting play. Its actually enabled by default. I.e. Netflix app on supported Samsung Smart TV + BD-HT.

I don't know about Android or other platforms, but for Windows 8/10, you can get surroud sound if you use Netflix app from Windows Store. To be able to download Netflix from Store, you will need to set your Windows region to US and you must logon to Windows Store with a Microsoft account.

Only stereo if streaming via Chrome/IE. Only able to get DD5.1+ through Netflix app in Win10 or Samsung TV's app.

So guys, with Netflix now in Msia, im thinking of getting a sub for my parents so they can watch it.
But our tv is a normal HDTV, not smart TV. Whats the best/cheapest way to be able to get Netflix/Iflix on this tv?
Chromecast? Means using phone as a remote, right? Will it drain Phone Battery? Sorry new tech for me. Any input or links go read up more is appreciated.

So it will drain a bit battery but not so much as playing directly in the phone.

Cast to the Chromecast & it takes over media playback. Your phone then acts like a remote for play, pause, jump forward, etc. You can even power off the phone and the content will still keep playing on the TV.
