How to Connnect Wii to Netflix

Netflix changed the way people watch movies when it began offering unlimited movie rentals for a flat fee. They now offer unlimited streaming content, which downloads instantly from Netflix. Netflix members are able to choose from thousands of movies with the click of a button. The only catch is that you must have an approved device, such as the Nintendo Wii, to watch movies on your television. You can begin watching movies and television shows immediately once your Wii is connected to Netflix.
