How do I get a movie that I have selected from netflix that is playing on my laptop to move to my tv. I have apple tv.

Connect the Apple box to the TV with a cable. Using the TV remote select the input port you connected the apple box to. ie HDMI.

Click the center button on your apple remote. You should see a Netflix icon. Select it and then log in to your Netflix account

If you have a netflix account, you can use the netflix app. Or if you are an xfinity user, you can download the xfinity tv app, sign in with your details and youre good. Now if you want to watch movies added on your phone, you can download the VLC app. But if the movie format is not supported like the mkv format, you might need to convert them.

what sort of problem are you having? are you a paid subscriber ?

You cannot download movies to your Vizio streaming device. Do you download the moves you watch on TV ? Of course not. A TV allows you to watch movies, shows, etc.BROADCAST OVER THE AIRWAVES OR CABLE. Similarly, a streaming device allows you to watch movie, shows, etc. STREAMED/TRANSMITTED OVER THE INTERNET. So, if you can watch Netflix trailers on your Vizio, you can watch Netflix movies (but not download them). Select a Netflix movie, press Play on your remote and see what happens.
