Netflix
Netflix
is an American company
established in 1997 that offers DVD and
Blu-ray rentals through the mail and on-demand video
streaming over the Internet to people in the United States and Canada. Customers
receive the DVDs in the mail and return them by mail using a prepaid envelope. In September 2011, Netflix began offering a streaming video service,
allowing customers to stream movies and TV shows over the Internet to their TV,
using a Netflix enabled DVD player, TV (with built-in Internet capability),
XBox
360, Playstation 3, Nintendo Wii, and several different set-top boxes (Apple TV, Roku, etc.).
Each of these services requires a monthly subscription fee. There is a flat monthly rate for the streaming video service and DVD rental service. Customers are able to get unlimited DVD rentals each month, but only one DVD at a time. When they return one DVD, the next DVD on their rental queue list is sent to them in the mail. Blu-ray discs are available to rent for an additional monthly fee.
