What type of machine do I need to receive it?

 

There are lots of options. Blueray player, computers (many now have HDMI outputs), Ipads (with the HDMI adapter), Playstation 3/4, XBOX 1, roku, chromecast, or just having a smart tv will allow you to access netflix.

I use a roku...

I use a Wi. One of our TV's has it loaded as an ap.

I use google chrome. It only cost about $35.00 and plugs in to the back of the TV.

Most new smart TVs have Netflix built in.

I watch it on the smart TV in the living room, my iPhone, my laptop or my PS3.

There are also lots of options similar to Netflix, like Amazon Prime. It depends on what you like to watch. If it's movies, you'll probably be better off with Netflix but might be something worth considering.

We use Apple TV. Box is like $100 and sinc it with the wireless router in the house.

I use Apple TV also, I find it works well and is intuitive.

Amazon Fire Stick. It might be the last straw for my cable subscription, sports coverage or not. It's great.

I use google chrome. It only cost about $35.00 and plugs in to the back of the TV.

 

Assuming Flotsam meant Google Chromecast, this is pretty undoubtedly your cheapest route. You can purchase the Chromecast stick either online, or from most major stores with any kind of technology or audio/video department (Walmart, Staples, Office Depot, Target, Best Buy...). Costs $35, requires an HDMI port in your television, a wall outlet to plug the power supply into, and WIFI internet in your house. Then you can link it into your computer, smartphone, or tablet, and anything you browse through the Google Chrome internet browser will automatically be broadcasted to the Chromecast stick in your TV.

 

The Amazon Fire TV Stick works essentially the same way as the Chromecast stick, but costs a bit more. It has it's own remote, though, and does not require use of another device like a smartphone, tablet, or laptop. However, it won't allow you to use your television screen as a computer screen like Chromecast does.

 

Other than that, there are some modern TV's that are manufactured as "Smart TV's" that have a Netflix app built into them (mine has built in apps for Netflix, Hulu, AmazonPrime, YouTube, Facebook, and Pandora). There are several gaming consoles that support straming services, as do the majority of Blu-Ray players, and pretty much all digital consoles like AppleTV and Roku.
