Brian, et al
thanks for the detail... I forgot my TV has a wireless hookup... could never get it to work so forgot about it... I’ve installed an extender lately and the TV grabbed it right away.. 4 bars and Netflix got the hook up...

thanks all for the info...  and I didn’t have to buy anything extra... I’m liking that part.

Netflix just uses the internet to stream the shows. U-verse is ATT's brand of both internet and tv bundle.  Depending on what you're using Netflix on, there are several ways to get it to the TV. Previously mentioned Roku boxes, Amazon Fire box/stick, even a laptop or PC. All of the boxes and phones, connect to the TV somehow. Think video out and video in on the TV.  That's all those boxes are doing.  I've run streamed movies from the laptop to the tv. Works fine.  Although I have a good dual core router, it balks sometimes on wireless, so when you're streaming, might be best to hook up the ethernet cable to the device if possible. The other option which you're looking for (turn on TV and watch) is to get a 'smart' tv. It has the app built in to get netflix directly on the TV instead of using previously mentioned devices. So several ways to get what you want.  I'm still leery of 'smart' TV's because some of them have cameras built in, and the security isn't that good.

  wondering if there is a way to get Netflix thru U-verse...   some limited reading makes me think no...   anyone got a work around that doesn’t involve using my laptop or my phone...  love to just turn  on the TV and do it

  thanks
  john
