How to access the Netflix app

To launch the Netflix app on your TV, you can: 

  • Use the voice command and say “Netflix” 
  • Press the HELIX button on your remote and select Netflix from the App section in the menu, under Entertainment 

The Netflix home screen will appear with the words “You’re entering a third-party app” to let you know that this application is not a Videotron product. 

The Netflix content is integrated into the Helix catalogue. Selecting this content from the catalogue will therefore automatically launch the Netflix app.

How to search for Netflix content

With the voice command 

You can search for specific content by naming the title of what you want to find followed by the app. For example, “Money Heist on Netflix”.

You can also do a general search by genre, actor, director or other. Netflix content related to your query will appear among the list of results. 

From the Netflix app

In the Netflix app menu, the magnifying glass icon allows you to search for specific content. Depending on the precision of the keywords you enter, several content will appear to best match your query. For example, if you enter a title that is not in the Netflix listings, other titles that are similar in genre, director or actors will be suggested. 

To find Netflix content to watch, you can also browse Netflix suggestions in the many categories offered. The more content you watch, the more the recommendations will be tailored to your tastes.
