How to Stream Video on Netflix

Although Netflix originally provided subscribers with DVDs of their choice delivered directly to their mailboxes, the company now also provides streaming video. The "Watch Instantly" feature allows you to view your favorite movie or TV show basically anywhere there is Internet access. Whether you are watching on your laptop in your bedroom or through your Wii console in the living room, it is relatively simple to search for and play a vast array of streaming content.
