Netflix streaming

How does the streaming work?  Is it tied to a computer or can a person use it wherever they are?

(I'm visiting family and although we're going to start netflix, I don't want to waste it for a month if we can't use it.)

Re: Netflix streaming

  • You can view netflix on demand from any computer that meets the minimum requirements, you just need to login and download a plugin.

  • Netflix streaming only works on PCs (it won't even work on my Mac when I am using Parallels which it total bs) and it only works in Internet Explorer.

    But yes, you can sign in from any PC using IE and it will work. The streaming is just tied to your log in.

    The newest netflix streaming comes through your xbox 360 onto your tv.

    Oh, and through your computer, it works for me on Firefox, not just IE.

  • You can also buy a roku and stream it to any TV. Many new blu-ray players also have this function (I stream directly to my blu-ray)
  • You can also do streaming Netflix to you Blu-Ray dvd player, if you have one. If you don't have a Blu-Ray there is a device called Roku which does the same thing (netflix streaming) without having to buy a new dvd player and costs about $80.

  • I have watched, seriously, every single episode when they put Law and Order, SVU on their streaming list.

    It's amazing.

    As soon as I read that I can stream on my Mac I went and downloaded the plugin. I am all good to go now. Thanks :)
