Netflix allows customers with the unlimited streaming membership to view an unlimited number of streamed movies, shows and other media on their computers. However, you can also use certain Netflix-ready devices and game consoles to stream Netflix videos to ordinary television sets using your regular Internet connection. You can either connect your Internet modem to a PS3 with an Ethernet cable, or use the Wi-Fi feature to connect wirelessly. Then, you can easily install a free Netflix application on your PS3 that allows you to stream Netflix videos directly to your TV.
