I use the PlayON server, which can get Netflix and export it as Mpeg2PS. The problem is PLayON is only available for 
Windows, I run it in a virtual XP machine under VirtualBox on a Debian server, not on my Myth machine.

PlayON will work will with a PS3, or any other UPnP/DLNA player/renderer. I use a Myka, which can also access NFS and 
Samba shares from my main server.

I'd like to set up a virtual capture device of some sort for Myth of course, but for now at least I can watch it.
