| Netflix is using the
internet to deliver
your movie content with a process called
streaming. Streaming is different than downloading from the internet.
With streaming you stay connected to the web during
your viewing of the movie and this way you can watch without waiting to
download the entire content of the show. Watch Netflix on your smartphone, tablet, Smart TV, laptop, or streaming device, all for one fixed monthly fee. Plans range from $6.99 to $22.99 a month. No extra costs, no contracts. Video streaming is very popular now. You can use a Blu-ray player which is Netflix ready or a TV with internet capability or a ROKU box connected to your TV to stream movies to your home. You could even use an old analog TV by connecting an adapter (HDMI to RCA) and a wireless TV stick such as a ROKU or Amazon Fire TV stick. These wireless sticks have HDMI which plugs into the adapter and the RCA cables plug into the other end of the adapter and then into your TV or an RF Modulator for a coaxial connection to an even older analog TV. • Make a non-smart TV into a Smart TV See below for devices which are Netflix ready. You can use the internet based movie services with your computer, laptop, web enabled TV, game console, and a variety of other devices. For example if you have a TV with internet connection capability built in, you can, for example, connect using a wireless router in your home. You need internet service from a provider such as your cable TV company. You could also connect using a Blu-ray player with the Netflix app. Regardless of how you hookup to the net, you need an account so you can be billed and so you can choose your viewing content. Netflix charges per month and has a few different plans you can choose. • Netflix.com How do you set up Netflix on your Smart TV? 1.
