Can you connect to Netflix in Media center?  If so how?

Thanks

Sorry, but not currently.

We want to add Watch Now support to Theater View, but I'm not sure when it will happen. 

Netflix requires level 2000 Windows Media DRM authorization which requires a $20,000 license and a lot of legwork.

We may just show a webbrowser like we're doing for Hulu.

Interesting.  Even after all that money and work are you still stuck with the poor quality as you get with the built-in Netflix in Windows Media Center (it appears they use Silverlight so maybe they are basically just using a browser too)?
