Streaming it from your phone to a chromecast would probably be the cheapest option. I don't like the idea of fiddling around with my phone for Netflix though so I've got a Roku 3 hopefully arriving today to replace my Google Nexus Player which seems to be getting more unreliable by the day. |

I've been very happy with my Roku. It does Netflix, Amazon, Youtube, as well as BBC Iplayer, and the various options from the other main broadcasters. |

My Chromecast has gone to shit the last few weeks, oddly. I've had to switch back to streaming to Apple TV. |

Most cost effective is to watch on the phone you already own. Zero additional cost. Boom. I'm a problem solver, me |

The Amazon fire stick does Netflix just fine and it's cheaper than the Roku option... not cheaper than your phone though. |

Ah, i do believe i missed the word TV out of my original CR. "I want to watch Netflix in my spare room. What is the best way (most cost effective) to do this.. chromecast, fire stick etc" I made the assumption by stating chromecast that TV would be required. |

Arrange your bike so that you can see out of your window into your neighbour's front room. They'll probably have netflix on at some point. |

I'm 27 years old. I believe in taking care of myself and a balanced diet and rigorous exercise routine. In the morning if my face is a little puffy I'll put on an ice pack while doing stomach crunches. I can do 1000 now. After I remove the ice pack I use a deep pore cleanser lotion. In the shower I use a water activated gel cleanser, then a honey almond body scrub, and on the face an exfoliating gel scrub. Then I apply an herb-mint facial mask which I leave on for 10 minutes while I prepare the rest of my routine. I always use an after shave lotion with little or no alcohol, because alcohol dries your face out and makes you look older. Then moisturizer, then an anti-aging eye balm followed by a final moisturizing protective lotion." |

Galaxy S6/7 phone, GearVR headset and Netflix on there. It's a massive screen with the only downsides being you can't see how far you have gone on the bike, it can be quite draining on the battery and it may get so hot it takes your whole head clean off. |

My timing is as impressive as always. I've just set up my Roku 3 and I see that Roku earlier today announced (in the US at least) they were refreshing their product line-up. That outdoes my buying a Moto G 3 only for the 4 to be announced a week later. On the plus side, I like the Roku 3. Netflix is certainly painless enough and having headphones that plug into the remote might come in handy too. |

Oh my goodness! How on earth do I find the shows I have earmarked to watch on Netflix? Russell has gone out, I have the app to watch a Mimi movie alone for the first time in forever to stop me feeling lonely and they aren't there. I'm signed in... it's just all categories like 'thrillers', no 'your list' |
