how to use apps that use the internet like Netflix with out xbox live

You should use the Netflix app. It sounds like you're trying to access Netflix through Internet Explorer.

To download the app, from the Dashboard go to the section labelled 'apps' and press A on the tile that says Search Apps. Type in Netflix and download the app. Then try using that instead, you should not get any ActiveX errors there.

Let us know how that goes.

Hi I want to connect to the internet on my Xbox one s console and use youtube and netflix

So any membership like live gold is required

Response:

Hi there,

to connect the Xbox One S console to the internet all you need is a internet connection, to which you can connect the console.

For youtube there is not addition membership required, for Netflix a Netflix membership is required.

There is no need for a Xbox Live Gold subscription to be able to use these apps and download demo's or purchased games etc.

A membership like Xbox Live Gold is required when you want to play multiplayer games online or use party chat etc

Is there any way I can use Netflix though Internet Explorer instead of using the App?

I have a Netflix membership already but it is not associate to the same person who is associated to Live Gold membership. This is why I use Netflix though IE instead of using the Xbox 360 Netflix app.

Each time I try to access Netflix though IE (not through the App) I'm prompted to enable ActiveX but I cannot find a way to perform that activation in the Xbox 360.

Can you recommend any solution?

Thanks,

G

Also, I can use Internet Explorer, Netflix, and all the other apps that require Gold. I just can't figure out how to enable Skype to run.

Want to watch Netflix on the internet? $8/month. How about the PS3 with its free online play? $8/month. Want to use your smartphone or table to watch Netflix? Drat, it's still $8/month. You'll find the same thing happens with Hulu Plus.

You aren't paying MS money for your Netflix service. You're paying Netflix for you Netflix service and that fee lets you watch it on your Xbox, PS3, Wii, Roku box, smartphone, tablet, computer, etc. You can stop paying for Xbox Gold and still have to pay
a monthly fee to use Netflix, Hulu Plus, etc.
