>>What is the cheapest plan at Netflix? 8.99 sounds pretty good.

When you go to register, there are radio buttons for several options, with $8.99 being the lowest on that screen. As you get further down the sign-up process, a wider range is displayed with the lowest being $4.99 for two movies per month and only 2 hours of streaming movies.

The $8.99 plan has unlimited one at a time movies and unlimited streaming movies to your PC. I have a cable to connect my laptop to my TV which has a VGA input.
