I don't have wi-fi. Do I need wi-fi. How do I get it. What do I need? Where can I get it to stream netflix?
Answer
model numbers of your devices would be helpful. Check the specs of your Blu ray player to see if it can run Netflix. You also need an internet connection for your device. Again check your blu ray player to see what type of internet connection it supports. Most have wired connections, other have built in wireless or the option to add wireless with a dongle that must be purchased separately.
Check out your router or modem to see what connections it supports.

How do Blu-ray players stream Netflix?

I have been waiting for my old DVD player to die before getting a blu-ray player. It isn't dead yet, but is certainly getting close. I have heard that many blu-ray players are capable of streaming videos from sites like Netflix, but I'm not sure what the details about it are:
1. Do I need a separate internet account from what I use on the computers in my house?
2. Does it operate by Wi-Fi or do I need to plug it directly into the internet line/modem?
3. Do blu-ray players come with different levels of processor/memory? I'd want one that will stream without hangups.
4. Is 3D capability worth getting? I would only rent or stream movies, so no permanent collection of 3D films.
5. I'm looking at also getting a new TV, as my old one is one of the early model HDTVs and is heavy and getting old. Any recommendations for a TV and Blu-ray that work well together? I'm trying to stay below $500, but will look up to $1,000 if it makes a big difference in quality.
Answer
1. No it uses the same
2. That depends on the bluray player itself. Some have wifi built it and some require you buy an additional dongle.
3. They pretty much stream the same
4. Yes it is, but the TV AND bluray both need to have that capability
5. Not really, just dont get one that is too cheap. You get what you pay for
