Learn how to use the Netflix App with Ignite TV (formerly BlueCurve TV) and Ignite Streaming (formerly known as Shaw Stream) to access the Netflix content library. Netflix is seamlessly integrated into the Ignite TV platform, allowing us to freely binge watch all our favourite shows in one place. See the sections below for more information.
Requirements
Netflix is visible to all Ignite TV and Ignite Streaming customers. To access and watch Netflix, it is required to have:
Plan options, pricing and billing are handled directly by Netflix. See Netflix Streaming Plans for more information.
Shaw Internet Service
Shaw Internet service is required because Netflix content is streamed to Ignite TV over the Internet, and Netflix usage will count toward your monthly Internet usage.
Netflix content will not appear in the Ignite TV Kids Zone, however there is a kids section within the Netflix App itself.
Sign up from Ignite TV
Sign up for Netflix directly from your Ignite TV set-top box. Signing up for Netflix via Ignite TV or Ignite Streaming will automatically add your Netflix subscription to your Shaw bill. Learn how to sign up for Netflix.
You may also sign out of Netflix at any time, allowing you to sign back in using a different account.
Viewing History
Only Netflix titles launched from the Ignite TV interface will show up in Ignite TV history (ie Last Watched). All titles watched thereafter within the Netflix App will not show up in your viewing history.
Titles watched in Netflix will only appear in 'Recently Watched' in the Saved menu if they have manually been marked 'Watched'
