NETFLIX will be blocked on Amazon Fire TV sticks from today with millions affected by the change.

The global streaming platform will no longer be supported on some older Amazon devices.

The massive change is to come into effect today with Brits urged to check if their device will be impacted.

If an old Fire TV Stick is plugged into your TV you may need to upgrade to keep your Netflix access.

The update will only affect certain devices made in 2014 so newer models are safe for now.

Neither Netflix or Amazon offered a reason for the sudden decision with users left in the dark.

Experts have theorised that the issue could be with something called AV1 codec.

This is part of larger Netflix Premium plans and offers a higher picture quality which is not supported by the 2014 Fire Sticks.
