How does that work for streaming? Is it limited to one stream at a time?

You're limited to 5 devices total... I'm not sure if you can stream on two at once.

  You can. I share an account with other family members, we all stream and we all live at different addresses.

My wife and I have been able to stream to a laptop and the Wii at the same time. But, I don't know if there are no restrictions, or if there are "only 1 device type at a time."

From https://www.netflix.com/Help?faqtrkid=4&p_search_text=simultaneous&srch=Search https://www.netflix.com/Help?faqtrkid=4&p_search_text=si...: Q. Can I watch movies instantly on more than one PC or Netflix-ready device? A. ... If you are on the Watch Instantly Unlimited plan or the 1-disc-out-at-a-time plan, you may watch only one device at a time. If you are on the 2-discs-out-at-a-time plan, you may watch on up to two devices at a time. Members on the 3-disc plan can watch on up to three devices. The maximum is four devices -- available for members on the 4-or-greater-discs-out-at-a-time plan. Your account can have up to six unique authorized devices activated (and associated with it) at any given time, including personal computers and Netflix-ready devices. For example, if you're on the 1-disc plan, you can have up to six devices associated with your account, but you can only watch one of them at a time. If you're on the 2-disc plan, you can have up to six devices activated but can only watch two of them at the same time.

  We have the 1-disc plan but routinely watch on the Wii and my desktop at the same time (but not for very long, because our bandwidth can't really keep up well; it's kind of a bone of contention here).

  Wow, that's great. I couldn't find any info about it on their site for some reason, but another site[0] says it's $20/month for the 4 discs out at-a-time plan, meaning by sharing with friends and family you can defray the cost to $5/month. 0: http://www.timefordvd.com/netflix/NetflixPricePlans.shtml http://www.timefordvd.com/netflix/NetflixPricePlans.shtml
