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 visit this article.
