Welcome to Netflix on your TiVo! Use this article to learn about Netflix features and how to set up and sign out of your account. If you’re unsure if your device supports Netflix, follow the steps in the “Set up Netflix” section to attempt to locate the Netflix app.
Netflix is available on many TiVo models. Netflix streaming features on supported devices include:
Supported Regions
Netflix is available worldwide, and most devices will work wherever Netflix is available, though some older devices will only work in the country where they were purchased. See our Supported Region Map for details. If you are considering purchasing a new device, check with the manufacturer to see if it supports Netflix in your region.
Older devices may ask you to go to netflix.com/activate to set up your device. These devices only support Netflix in the United States and Canada.
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.
Older devices may not have rows of categories, but do allow you to scroll through My List, which you can create using the Netflix website.
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. To check if your device supports 5.1 audio, go to any Netflix Original to see if there is a 5.1 audio option. If not, your device does not support this feature. Many devices will let you customize the appearance of subtitles
and captions. Devices that do not support customization will display subtitles and captions in their default appearance or are not configured to display subtitles.
The chart below describes the features available on supported TiVo devices.
