Welcome to Netflix on your Dish receiver! Use this article to learn about Netflix features and how to set up and sign out of your account.
Netflix is available on select Dish receivers, listed below. Netflix streaming features on supported devices include:
Navigation
On most devices, Netflix lets you browse through rows of TV shows and movies, including a row dedicated to your My List selections. Each row represents a category (Comedies, Dramas,
TV shows, etc) that we present to you based on what you’ve watched.
Resolution
Most devices are capable of streaming Netflix in high definition on fast internet connections and will play Netflix in their maximum supported resolution (see our Internet Connection Speed recommendations for more information).
Parental Controls
Netflix allows you to set parental controls on individual profiles.
Subtitles & Alternate Audio
Learn how to enable subtitles, closed captions, and alternate audio (including 5.1 surround sound), which are available on many TV shows and movies. Many devices will let you customize
the appearance of subtitles and captions. Some devices will display subtitles and captions in their default appearance, or are not configured to display subtitles.
Note for satellite users
If you are being billed for Dish satellite service, Netflix will count toward your monthly broadband quota. For information on how to control how much data Netflix uses, please
