how does streaming netflix work?

Re: how does streaming netflix work?

  • If you have a netflix account, you can stream whatever movies they have available for streaming (not everything they have on DVD). You can stream to your laptop, XBox360, and I think Playstation3. Brand new television have the ability to stream directly through them. There is also this thing called a Roku box that you can stream through to your tv, if you don't have any of the other devices.

    The details, I'm not sure, because I didn't set up the streaming at our house. We stream through our XBox. My parents just bought a new tv, and stream directly through that. My BIL bought the inlaws a Roku box for Christmas. Yes, I ended up in very tech savy families. And I'm a luddite!

  • The Wii consul has the ability as well. That is what i watch my netflix on. You have to register via a computer then it links the account to whatever device you have.

  • We stream through the xbox. I also use the iPad, and we bought a TV for the loom room that has streaming capabilities. I love the new TV, because it works really well. We have a little bit of tech overkill in my house, although we don't have cable, so it all balances out.

  • We have a Blu-Ray player, and it's supposed to stream through there.  But I can't for the life of me figure out how to set it up.

    We use Verizon (FIOS) and I am supposed to register/activate my device, but I have no idea how to do that.  Hopefully someone on here will know! :)

  • We stream through our PS3 on the TV in our living room and in our bedroom we have a BluRay player capable of streaming and we stream through that. My parents stream through their Wii.

    DH set it up so I don't know the details, but I believe you just need an internet connection and a NetFlix account (you used to need a disc, but not anymore). We mostly stream TV shows because the movie selection is pretty limited. It's really awesome because we suck at mailing back the actual discs they send us. The one we have now, we've had for months Embarrassed

    soundls like we have the right equipment - we have a blu ray in the man room and wii in the Living room - and FiOS.  I may look into this now.  I will keep you posted

  • We stream through our Wii, our computers and my iTouch. It's really, really straightforward. You used to need a DVD for streaming on the Wii but they nixed that.  Now you just download the Wii add on.  There's a Netflix app for iTouch/iPhone that you can stream on after you log into your account through it.

    I'll be very curious to see if Amazon Prime ever catches up with Netflix's streaming content.

  • Ours streams through our Xbox via our internet connection... and the cool part is that if we want to go upstairs to bed, we can pause the movie and finish it on the laptop through our Netflix account.

  • We stream through out Samsung blu ray player (we have FiOS too).  You have to have your blu ray connected to the internet through a wireless connection or direct connection.  You can only access movies that are available to steam but it's nice to be able to have access to movies when we want them and not have to watch on the computer.
