Agreed... that would be the worst part.  However Mythtv is a popular enough
project, and Netflix is equally popular, that I suspect that if someone
wrote a "netflix browser" plugin, and it was easy to update, it would be
quickly updated for changes.  Hell for years we scraped websites for our
listings... so it's not impossible.
