Netflix

[windjammer]

What is needed to be able to watch a Netflix Video on a TV that's in another room ?

I now watch some on my computer but would like to watch on the big screen.

I would like to have a wireless connection of some sort if possible. I am not a " computer person " and am far from it.

This actually looks pretty straightforward. Consult the list they provide to see if your device is "Netflix ready." Then just go from there. It appears you can use a WiFi connection.

Our DVD player is netflix ready. It receives the wireless signal from our router and we can watch streaming netflix movies (or a dvd disc of course). All the 'controls' are through the dvd player remote just as if you were watching a disc.

I think ours is the older model of this one.

We have a Roku on one TV and use a wii on another.

 

[Forester]

If you have the Wii game console, you can watch it on that as well.

The RoKu can get other "shows" besides Netflix as well. I'd love to get one for watching podcasts at The TWiT Netcast Network with Leo Laporte

Thanks to everyone for the information.

Windjammer,


I have a Sony Bravia HD TV and a Sony Blu-Ray Player (one that is internet ready from the factory). All I had to do was buy a Wireless Bridge (Best Buy...about $100.00), follow the set up instructions and voila, Netflix to my TV. It was fairly simple (it had to be for me to get it right the first time).

Traded my TVs for a butter churner and a loom....never looked back...

Can you whip me up a tea cozy?

Netflix makes a fortune on the "all you can watch" package, trust me. We then downgraded to the "2 movies per month" plan. THAT was too many. We cancelled the whole thing.

 

[USAF385]

I'm pretty big into movies. I don't have cable / satellite so there's not usually a lot to watch on TV. I watch a lot of movies at night.. often just to have something on while I do something else. I have the unlimited rentals per month one out at a time plan with Netflix. I can get two rentals a week if I'm quick.

My girlfriend has fast wireless at her place, so I took my Wii over there for the live streaming stuff.

I also have Blockbusters online renting program. It's a 2 per month limited plan for $5. They have some titles that Netflix doesn't carry.

 

[sipowicz]

I tried it for a few months,..hated it...felt like watching the movie when I ordered it, but never felt like watching the movie when it got here. I'll take Showtime and HBO. I men, before my churner and loom.

JcMack, do you want solid or with pink borders?
