How to Stream Netflix to a Sony Blu-ray Player
With very little setup, a Netflix Ready Sony Blu-ray Disc player can stream Netflix movies and TV shows directly to your television. First you need to set up a Netflix account on the Netflix website with unlimited rental membership plan and a selection of streaming movies chosen in your queue. Sony recommends a broadband Internet connection of 2.5 Mbps or higher to stream Netflix content -- 10 Mbps for high definition.
