How to Log on to Netflix Through iTV

Access thousands of Netflix movies and television shows via Apple TV.

Apple TV, or iTV, is a small device that gives the user wireless access to TV shows, movies, music, photos and news on his television. Apple TV users no longer have to sync with an iTunes library or rent movies from the cable provider. It is all included in Apple TV, which is so compact that users can place it on a shelf or hide it in a tight space in an entertainment center. Apple TV’s partnership with Netflix allows the user to access an impressive library of movies and television shows by letting the user log into her Netflix account directly through the Apple TV.

Things You'll Need

• Apple TV
• Apple remote
• Netflix account

Instructions

1. Go to the main menu on Apple TV. Press the right arrow button, scrolling over each menu item until you reach the Internet drop-down menu. Select Netflix.

2. Enter the Netflix user ID by selecting letters, numbers and symbols from the onscreen keyboard with the Apple remote. The Netflix ID is the email address used to sign up for Netflix. Select “Done” when the user ID is complete.

3. Enter the Netflix password by selecting letters, numbers and symbols from the onscreen keyboard with the Apple remote. Click “Done” when the password is entered, and the main Netflix menu appears.

4. Select from "Suggestions for You," "Recently Watched," "Movie Genres," "TV Genres," "New Arrivals" and "Search" on the Main Menu. The Netflix on Apple TV is the same Netflix the user sees when accessing it on the computer or via a game system.

Tips & Warnings

• The user must have a preexisting Netflix account to use Netflix via Apple TV.
