Instructions for Using Netflix Instant on the Wii

You can use the Neflix Instant feature to stream videos through your Wii console to your television. There is no additional charge for this service, but you must have a Netflix membership that includes unlimited video streaming. Netflix will provide you with a special disc that you must place in the Wii in order to watch their movies and television shows. After the initial setup, you'll be able to access any videos you place in your Netflix Instant queue.
