You can now manage your Netflix account from within i.TV thanks to a recent update to the iPhone and iPod touch application. i.TV is a free television and movie programming that's been available for about a month now.

According to the i.TV blog, the service now includes search results for over 100,000 DVD titles from Netflix. So, for example, you can discover Netflix DVD titles by tapping the ‘Watch’ button from any TV or movie details screen and reorder or delete items in your Netflix queue from within the My Media tab.

Users can also add movies and TV episodes to their Netflix instant watching queue. That way they can instantly stream content to a Windows PC, Xbox 360, Roku box, or TiVo video recorder as well as select Blu-Ray players. Mac support is due by end of the year.

The i.TV update also brings links to relevant Wikipedia articles to most show, movie and actor screens.

More on i.TV
The service presents users with relevant and up-to-date TV and movie listings based on their current location and other customizable profile settings. It also gives them access to movie trailers and television previews that can be streamed directly to their device.

Users can organize the television listings according to categories such as channel, show, and genre. And the application provides background information for most programs, including celebrity photos, biographies, show synopses, ratings, and reviews.

In addition, there are a number of community-focused features that enable users to discover programming and socialize around entertainment. So users can use i.TV to recommend shows through an e-mail alert to friends, rate shows, write their own reviews, and respond to reviews written by other members of the i.TV community.
