Well xbox 360 has plans to add Netflix support as well...as their hardware is already built then this will most probably be a firmware upgrade. If the 360 is adding this support and several others as well then there must be a Netflix SDK or some such thing with so many companies coming out with similar products.

On May 28th, from 'Netflix Analyst Day 2008': The other 3 Instant
Watch hardware partners are on target for 08/09 releases (One is LG,
still no hint on who the other 2 are). Netflix has created an SDK that
can be added to existing Blu-Ray/dvd players (that have internet
connections) to allow them to stream Netflix movies the same way the
The Roku Netflix Player does. It is now up to the Blu-Ray player/game
console makers to add this feature into their firmware. Whether any or
all of them will opt to do so is unknown yet. Their hope is that once
their current 4 partners start showing big success, others will jump on
board.

seems to me that the SDK is already there or nearly done. and that Netflix is doing all they can to make deployment of 3rd party streaming solutions a rather trivial matter. All of this leads me to believe that not only is a Myth plugin feasible but that they would actually encourage such development
