Netflix Protocol For Streamed DVDs

Netflix's instant streaming feature has changed the way people view movies. At a flat monthly rate, subscribers can access a growing library of streaming movies and TV shows as well as receive DVDs by mail.
  1. Benefits

    • For at least $8.99/month for one DVD at a time (in 2010), you can search Netflix's online library of streaming titles as long as you have a high-speed Internet connection. Instead of purchasing DVDs or waiting for them in the mail, you can find movies to fit your taste, according to the Netflix rating system.

    Types

    • Along with watching streaming content on your computer, game consoles such as the Nintendo Wii, XBox 360 and PlayStation 3 offer Netflix applications to stream through your TV. Some Blu-ray players can access wireless Internet and download the Netflix application, and Netflix Inc. is constantly adapting more devices to stream Netflix content.

    Future

    • Reed Hastings, CEO of Netflix Inc., reported that his ultimate goal for the company is to provide every movie and TV program to every household through a single Netflix device.
