I don't have a viewer. I'm assuming that by the FHS web site you are referring to the LDS Family History Library. If this is correct, you need to go to a local Family History Center (check you phone book for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints to locate one) to order the microfilms. They usually charge about $3.25 and the films will be available for your use at the FHC on their viewers for several weeks (ours keeps them for 4 weeks). Many of the FHCs have collections of books, long-term loan microfilms and records on microfiche which you can use free of charge. All of the FHCs are staffed by volunteers, many of whom can help you locate additional sources of information. At my local FHC, each of the volunteers has their own area of speciality - some can help with translations, some are familiar with research in specific countries, some can direct you to web sites with records which may help you with your research.

Make sure you look for one in the phone book that has a Family History Center. Not all LDS churches (a church is a stake comprised of wards??) have Family History Centers.
