Netflix is the most powerful online rental house of home video content including DVD-Video and Blu-ray. Netflix's business model of making a list and having them send you the discs you request goes over very well with consumers. The idea of mailing back the discs avoids late fees.

Rapidly rising in popularity is Netflix's streaming service, where movies and TV shows are played back instantly via a Netflix connected device.

Nearly every manufacturer has a product that incorporates Netflix streaming. Panasonic, Samsung, Sony, Toshiba, and LG all have TVs and Blu-ray players with this capability. Apple with their Apple TV has the ability as well.

More recently, mobile apps have become available, with iPhone/iPad/touch devices able to stream Netflix content directly.
