• Whenever possible, always use HD for great streaming quality.
• Streaming requires a fast and stable internet connection. An unlimited plan is also preferred, as streaming videos requires a huge amount of internet data.
• Always check for updates for your streaming players. Constantly updating your device to the latest version allows you to maximize your use of the device.

Will Netflix send me the streaming box?

I need help to install Netflix on my HD TV.

Unfortunately, Netflix does not manufacture any streaming boxes. Because of this, Netflix will not send you a streaming internet player box when you sign up for service. You will need to purchase one yourself unless your TV is a Smart one; in that case, Netflix should already be installed and you can navigate through your list of applications to find it. If you don't have a Smart TV, you can look through the following list of streaming internet player boxes and decide which one is right for you. These all have Netflix applications:

• Apple TV
• Roku series
• NETGEAR NeoBox series
• Google Chromecast (if you have an Android or iOS phone or tablet, or a Mac, Windows, or Chromecast PC)
