neflix user, are you using xbox to watch TV on your pc?
I just joined netflix and saw that I can get streaming video on my pc by using my xbox and was wondering what I needed to do to get started and is there a fee for it.
theres also the windows media center that you can use any video sources on your windows media player and stream it to your xbox only if both your pc and xbox are connected to a hub, which means router, and you have to go through the xboxs windows media center setup to do that
You don’t stream from your 360 to your PC. What you can do is either stream online to your PC from the Watch Instantly list or stream over Xbox Live to your 360 and watch it on your TV. For the streaming on Live, you need to click on the Netflix ad on your dashboard and choose to connect your Netflix account to your gamertag. It will give you a code you need to put in on the Netflix site to link the two. After that, you can either go to the Netflix site and add movies to the Watch Instantly list or do it over Live.

First you need to have a Gold Xbox membership (pay for xbox live). You also need a netflix plan that allows you to watch movies online.
To stream netflix you’ll have to enter a code from your xbox on your computer. Start you xbox and go to the main menu. I can’t remember what sub menu it’s under, but find the tab that says Netflix. Click on that. You’ll be given a numeric code. Take that number to your computer (you can’t activate on xbox). When you receive your code there will also be a website where you will enter that code. Just follow the instructions on you xbox and computer and that’s it.
Remember you have to have an xbox gold membership and a netflix plan that allows you to watch movies online.
