    That's always not the same thing. The WD TV Live Plus for example has a Sigma chip that supports drm. The WD TV live non-plus version has the exact same Sigma chip sans drm so no Netflix for it. You probably won't ever see Netflix on desktop linux.

    Netflix support told me that their lack of linux support is due to contracts, not due to a technical issue. I'm sure you are all far moee familiar with this issue than i am but, i figured i should provide that gossip

    Yes, it's still the case that Netflix isn't available on Linux Boxee (is what dadein meant, I'm sure )
