To View Netflix, you need to either have a Netflix capable system (blu-ray, game console, some tv's, or PC) . I assume that you already know that part.
To view PC on TV. The only way to do this, is to connect the computer to the tv physically (at least I dont know of any wireless systems that will do this)
This connection depends on what kind of computer/tv combination you have. For example, my laptop has an HDMI output on it. So it was just a matter of running an HDMI cable from the laptop to the TV and anything that would normally be displayed on my monitor is transferred to the tv. Easy peasy.
Another depends on the tv itself. Some TV's have a VGA connector on it. If thats the case, then you connect your tv to the computer exactly as if it is a monitor. Or on the flip side if both your tv and computer have DVI connections available, you just run the dvi connection between the two.
If your tv or computer do not have compatible connectors, and it is a desktop computer, then you can always purchase a new video card that has an output that your tv will recognize.
These are the only ways that I know of. They all require a physical connection between the TV and computer, but they allow for anything that would be displayed on the computer to be displayed on the tv screen.
Now Verizon does have the media manager program that will link the computer to the TV through the Verizon system that will allow for limited computer to tv connection, but it will not do you any good for netflix or other VOD sites (hulu and Amazon for example) and is a little problematic for youtube.
For full functionality, direct connection is really the only way to go.
