The '''''Netflix Channel''''' was released in the United States and Canada on October 18, 2010 and in Europe on January 9, 2012. This channel allows Netflix subscribers to use that service's "Watch Instantly" movie streaming service over the Wii with their regular Netflix subscription fee, and replaces the previous Wii "streaming disc" mailed to Netflix customers with Wii and PlayStation 3 consoles from February–October 2010 due to contractual limitations involving Xbox 360 exclusivity. The channel is free to download in the Wii Channels section of the Wii Shop Channel. The channel displays roughly 12 unique categories of videos with exactly 75 video titles in each category. The TV category can have many seasons of videos (i.e. 15–100 episodes) associated with each title. There are also categories for videos just watched, new releases, and videos recommended (based on your Netflix subscription history).
