Netflix is one of the most popular video streaming services, available in over 190 countries. Members receive instant access to thousands of television programmes, documentaries and movies. There is no need to download anything or buy individual programmes on Netflix. As long as your loved one has an internet connection and is happy to pay the monthly subscription, they will have access to everything available on the service 24 hours a day, seven days a week, without a single advert.
How much does Netflix cost?
One of the best things about Netflix is that it is free for the first month.
Netflix allows you to choose which plan is right for each individual. Contrary to popular belief, Netflix doesn’t have one standard monthly charge. All of the plans below include the option to cancel at any time; they give access to unlimited films and TV programmes, and the option to watch on several different devices.
- £5.99 per month – This plan is perfect for one person and allows the user to watch any content in standard definition on one device.
- £9.99 per month – This middle plan is suited for sharing the service with one other person and has any content available in high definition on two different devices at the same time.
- £13.99 per month – The most expensive plan is ideal for families, with high definition and ultra high definition content available and the ability to watch on four different devices, all at the same time.
How to sign up to Netflix?
Creating an account only takes a few minutes. All it requires is a valid email address and a credit or debit card. Payments begin after the first free month, and you do have the option to cancel anytime. Click the “Start Your Free Month” button, enter the email address and choose a password. Once complete, you can start watching on a number of different devices. Netflix is available on devices such as laptops, tablets, mobile phones, games consoles, and through apps on smart televisions.
How to watch Netflix?
Netflix has a variety of ways of finding TV programmes and movies to watch. Content can be found through Search, Recommendations, or by browsing through the different genres.
Search
The search tool allows the user to look for specific titles, whether that be old favourites or something that has been highly-rated. If the title is not available, Netflix will suggest something similar or relevant and there are several ways to search:
- TV programme of Movie title.
- Actor / Actresses.
- Directors.
- Genre.
Recommendations
To help the user find something new to watch, Netflix will make some recommendations and displays them in rows to look through. The more the user watches, the better Netflix will get at recommending content. Some examples of the recommendations would be:
- Trending Now.
- Recently Added.
- Comedies.
- Because You Watched….
The user can also enable subtitles, captions or alternate audio on many titles.
Advantages of using Netflix
- Convenience – As long as there is an internet connection, Netflix is available to watch anywhere, anytime and on thousands of devices. You can also check the compatibility of the devices available to your loved one. Users can play, pause and resume all content without any adverts in between.
- Create a customised list – Search through the extensive library of movies and television shows and add them to a list to watch later.
- Content – Netflix has plenty of original material with exclusive series and movies that are not available anywhere else. However, the user doesn’t have to watch the original stuff and can choose between all-time classics, British and US programmes, BBC favourites and A-list movies.
- Variety of the price plans – The user has the choice to pick their own plan at their own price. With three options, the user can determine how many people can share the account and the picture quality.
- Watching on different devices – Depending on the plan, Netflix can be watched on the user’s iPad on a train journey and if the train journey stops before the programme is finished, they can watch the rest on their TV when they return home and Netflix will even remember where the user was!
- Download and Watch Later – If the Netflix user is going on holiday, or a long train journey without Wi-Fi, they can download movies from the Netflix library onto their account and watch them without being connected to the internet. This is perfect for flights abroad.
- Regularly updated – New shows and movies are added every week. Whilst some shows may disappear after a time, you can take solace in the knowledge that there will always be great programmes available.
