    Default Head phones and Netflix

    I'm trying to get Netflix working on his wifi head phones. Wtf, everything I tried was a no go. Fine with fox & fta. Further research indicates it is an issue with Netflix itself. Is there a fix or they contravening AU broadcasting. Pi-sed off.

    More info required. How are you trying to access netflix? Set top box, computer, TV? IF the headphones plug into a headphone socket then it would be most likely a mechanical issue i.e broken wire, connector not "connecting" or the like.
    I'm out of my mind, but feel free to leave a message...

    Thanks Isemmens.
    Netflix app via Samsung smart TV via optical out to base unit. The tv audio is set to the correct settings through talking with Samsung, Hardly Normal & Philips (headphones manufacturer). There's no audio out with the Samsung tv. Wish it was a broken wire. Grrr.

    I don't suppose the SmartTV is smart enough for a bluetooth connection ?
    AFAIK some Wifi head phones also have bluetooth.
    These days Wifi and Bluetooth are done with the same hardware module. It is hard to imagine one without the other.

    I'm guessing that the "base unit" is for the headphones? (I'm not au fait with optical and the modern stuff) Is there just a normal headphone socket on the TV that you can plug your Headphone transmitter into?

    There's no other out socket either av or 3.5 headphone jack with the bloody thing. Poor for a late model tv
