I use a Windows machine and playon from www.playon.com.  It will allow
Netflix to become accessible via uPnP.  I then either use XBMC or
VDR/Vomp depending on which frontend I want to watch it on.  It's not as
good as the BluRay player though.

I recently ditched Cable and still have an HDPVR, so have put this on
the bluray player.  However, my remote Mythfrontend doesn't have a
recent enough libx264 to compile against so it won't work remotely.
