How to View Netflix On a Blu-ray Player
Netflix provides two ways to watch Blu-ray Discs on a Blu-ray player. The first is via BDs mailed to your home. The second is streaming video, if you own a supported Blu-ray player. Netflix provides a list of compatible Blu-ray players that also stream video. It takes only minutes to connect your Blu-ray player to watch your BDs, or stream video.

Tips & Warnings
Your Netflix plan determines how many different devices play different programs. Any plan with two DVDs or more allow for the corresponding number of devices, up to six, to stream videos at the same time.
You must deactivate one of your devices if you wish to stream Netflix video on a new device and you already have activated your quota of devices.
