We stream Netflix films on our TV. You do need internet access.
My husband takes care of it. Sorry I can't give you more details, but we don't have either Kindle Fire or Wii.

Then, you simply get the correct cable and possibly adapters to hook up to your PC.
If you need more help, let us know.

It will stream a bunch of free channels including Youtube. Its also DNLA certified so you can stream stuff right out of Windows Media Player on a laptop or whatever.
