You do not have to have Internet access to have Netflix, however you do need Internet access to sign up, and add movies to the DVD queue. You will be unable to stream movies instantly without Internet access as well.

I hope this helps you out. Good luck!

unfourtantely no. you need the internet to pick which movies are coming next. however if you help her set one up and allow her to pick quite a few movies to put in her que then she wont have to worry about it for awhile. the only real need of internet is picking the movies so if she picks enough she wont have to worry about anything for awhile

You can use netflix on any tv thru a Wii, Playstaion3, etc. or you can buy a box at Walmart or other stores called a Rokia or something like that. They are around $50. But to recieve the streaming movies you must have access to the internet so even without a computer she would still need internet service which most cable companys offer.
