Netflix is available on select Ziggo set-top boxes, listed below. Netflix streaming features on supported devices include:

Navigation
On most devices, you can browse through rows of TV shows and movies, including a row dedicated to your My List selections. Each row represents a category (such as comedies, dramas, or TV shows) that we show you based on what you’ve watched.

Resolution
Most devices can stream Netflix in high definition on fast internet connections and will play Netflix in the highest supported resolution.

Parental controls
You can set parental controls on individual profiles.

Subtitles & alternate audio
Learn how to turn on subtitles, closed captions, and alternate audio (including 5.1 surround sound), which are available on many TV shows and movies. Many devices let you choose how subtitles and captions look. Some devices show subtitles and captions in their default appearance, or aren't set up to show subtitles.

On some devices, you can also stream select titles with Dolby Atmos audio.

Silent Sign-In
Some Ziggo set-top boxes support Silent Sign-In (SSI), a technology that enables automatic sign-in. Netflix customers who are billed through Ziggo will automatically be signed in to their Netflix account on their new, additional, or replacement Ziggo set-top box if that box is SSI-enabled.
