Things You'll Need
Instructions
Turn on your TV and Wii. Connect your Wii system to a wireless Internet connection. Use the Wii controller to locate the Netflix download from the Wii Shop Channel.
Enter the activation code found on the Wii Netflix at the Netflix website from your computer to activate your instant streaming access. Find the Netflix station on your Wii channel screen that is available after you turn on the system and select using the Wii controller. Start the Netflix channel to see a list of title categories.
Use your computer to choose from the titles available for instant streaming and add them to your Netflix queue. Select titles directly from the Wii using the search option. Or browse through all the available titles listed in multiple categories on the Wii Netflix screen, which includes titles in your queue that are streamed, recently watched titles, suggested picks and movies similar to movies you have previously viewed. Other categories available through the browsing option include new arrivals in TV shows and movies, comedy, documentary, drama and children and family viewing.
Highlight a title by pointing at the DVD cover to find information about the movie or TV episode that includes the running time, rating and a short summary. Select a title to watch and choose whether to view it immediately by selecting "Play"--or you can add it to your instant queue for future access. You can also find out the names of the director and cast on this screen.
Point the Wii controller toward the screen at any time during a movie or TV episode that you are watching to fast-forward, rewind or pause the viewing. Press "B" on the Wii controller to return to the previous screen, where you choose to play the movie, resume or return to the list of titles.
