How to Improve Netflix for the PS3

The PlayStation 3 (PS3) includes a built-in Netflix application that allows you to instantly stream movies and television shows from Netflix. The PS3 version of Netflix supports HD streaming and 5.1 audio on compatible videos. The quality of your stream generally depends on the quality of your Internet connection and, if applicable, your wireless network. You can do several things to improve the performance of Netflix.
