Tag details

Netflix is a company that offers streaming television via the Internet. Several devices connected to the Internet, either wired or wireless, provided they have a Netflix app, can stream television shows and movies. Some of the Netflix capable devices include the Nintendo Wii and other gaming consoles, computers, as well some of the newer smart televisions.

For a small monthly rate, $8 in Canada, Netflix subscribers can stream to multiple devices in their home. The small monthly fee and the ability to connect to multiple devices was in part, a marketing tactic to avoid pirating or sharing of the service. Additionally, Netflix offers the first month for free, giving people a chance to test the service before committing. Additionally, pausing the service is also an option so you are not billed while on vacation for example.

While the service does not replace traditional TV channels, cable TV, visiting the theater or local movie rental place, it does offer a collection of TV shows, cartoons, movies and documentaries from the past. Often the collection has shows that are year or more in age.
