My parents have been subscribing to Netflix for over a year, getting discs in the mail every other day. They will NOT transition to streaming. Never. They are not terribly computer literate, to put it mildly, and I can absolutely 100% guarantee they will never go that route.

Yes they will if you buy them, and set up, ROKU, and show them how to use it. Then they will love streaming and hate DVD’s. It will only take a minimal effort on your part. Otherwise, you are right, they are not likely to go that route on their own.

Once an account os set up, it’s pretty easy to use. Netflix sesetss a cookie, so you just link to the sire, select a movie and press a play button.

I’m with them. I am rural and cannot stream squat without interruption and reloading. It’s DVD or no Netflix for us unless we change servers, which is a real pain, too.
