Back in an era of video rental stores, Netflix started out as a subscription service that sent DVDs by mail. Netflix still offers a mail service, but it has been largely eclipsed by Netflix’s online streaming service. Video streaming provides nearly instant, on-demand access to any of the site’s TV shows and movies. Netflix’s main subscription plan provides unlimited access to all videos that Netflix offers, on up to two devices at once, for $8.99 per month as of publication. With a DVD subscription, Netflix sends movies from your queue – a wish list of videos – through the USPS. Each includes a prepaid return mailer. When you’re done with a disc, put it in the mailer and drop it in any mail box. Netflix automatically ships the next DVD from your queue when it receives the last disc back. Watching Netflix on other devices requires the Netflix app. The app is available for free on all major platforms, including iOS and Android, all current game consoles and most smart TVs and streaming sticks.
