How to Watch Movies Instantly on a Blu-ray Player with Netflix

You can now watch movies (and TV episodes) instantly with a Blu-ray player and Netflix. The information is streamed over the Internet to your TV via a Netflix ready device.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Internet connection
• Netflix-ready Blu-ray Player
• Netflix unlimited plan (subscription)
• TV

1. Review the information below. You may already have some of the required items.

2. Subscribe to a high speed internet plan.

3. Purchase a Netflix ready Blu-ray player: LG BD300, Samsung BD-P2500 or Samsung BD-P2550. If you are unsure you are getting one that is compatible, ask a salesperson for verification.

4. Subscribe to one of Netflix's unlimited plans. Currently, the cheapest plan is $8.99/month (plus $1/month for Blu-ray formatted movies). It includes exchanging 1 DVD or Blu-ray disc at a time via mail.

5. For the best quality picture and sound, be sure to have a HDMI connector, a high definition TV and a surround sound stereo system. Attach one end of the connector to the TV and the other to the Blu-ray player.

6. Connect the Blu-ray player to the internet. Follow the instructions to select the movies or TV shows you want to watch.

7. Sit back, relax and enjoy the show!

Tips & Warnings

• If you don't already have a Netflix account, don't sign up until you purchase a Blu-ray player. They have a free trial membership, which you can cancel and return the player if you are unsatisfied with the results.
