QNAP Adds Netflix Support To Its TAS-168 And TAS-268 NASes

Never shy to try new ideas, QNAP has announced that the QTS and Android dual-system TAS-168/268 NASes now support Netflix.  The TAS-168/268 NAS is the first Android-based NAS that supports Netflix, and users can now download and install the app from Google Play.  As with many of QNAPs offerings, you can simply connect the device to your television using the built-in HDMI port to enjoy many programs available on the QNAP Qmarket.

”Netflix is one of the most popular Internet video streaming services in the world, and we are pleased to announce that it is compatible with our Android-based TAS-168/268 NAS.” said Hanz Sung, Product Manager of QNAP. “With the addition of Netflix, TAS-168/268 users can further maximize their home entertainment options by streaming their favorite movies and TV shows to a big screen in their living room.”

Powered by an ARM v7 dual-core CPU and 2GB of DDR3, the TAS-168/268 is designed as a compact media NAS optimized for home use.  With a keyboard and mouse connected to the built in USB ports, users can manage, edit, and play files stored on the TAS-168/268 without needing to access the shares form another PC.  Through the HDMI display, users are greeted with the familiar Android interface.  With the ability to pull apps from Google Play, QNAP users have a much deeper well to pull from when choosing what to run on their NAS.

The free Netflix app for Android devices is available from Google Play, and users can download it from Android Station on their TAS-168/268.
