Can my parents use my Netflix account?

My Mum wants to see several tv series on Netflix. My parents don't have any devices to view it, apart from a desktop PC. Mum doesn't want to sit watching tv like that. Could she borrow my Amazon Fire TV stick and use my account? I don't use it everyday.

    We have a 2 user Netflix account, and 3 user profiles (Me, Mum and Daughter). Daughter lives in her own place whilst at university but still uses Netflix to watch stuff she likes. (As long as me and Mum aren't both also watching other things).

    Bottom line ... it's the login account that matters, not where it is used. :)

    Perfectly acceptable to do that. In fact why not get your mum her own Amazon Fire TV stick in the upcoming Black Friday sales.

    I would be very careful about allowing your parents to use your account - how do you know that they will not download Naughty Films?

    Oh! It's usually the other way round... :rotfl:

    Just to add that you can get a months FREE Netflix by using the code in this weeks Radio Times. We are getting the Radio Times at the moment for £1 for 12 issues delivered.
    So for £1 we get 12 Radio Times and a month Netflix! That is what I call a bargain.
