Watching Netflix Movies on Ubuntu

Asked by Cynthia Guerra

I just bought a used Dell Inspiron w/Ubuntu and tried to sign onto my Netflix account to watch a movie. It's not letting me watch the movie. What do I need to do to be able to watch a movie w/Ubuntu or is it possible?
Thank you.

Netflix have decided not to support linux so it wont be easy

It should be possible using a virtual machine such as virtual box if you have a spare windows Licence

Otherwise you could try complaining to Netflix directly. I have and if enough of us do they may change their minds.

Can you help with this problem?
