<div>That's what I've done. I use Virtualbox to run a XP session on my myth frontend - and have Netflix Silverlight installed on that. The XP session can access the linux data drive via SMB, or you can use the 'shared folder' functionality of Virtualbox (I use SMB since I already had shares set up). It works well for me - I get a little tearing on the video, but it's not that bad. That way I can just ALT-TAB between mythfrontend, and my XP session for netflix.</div>
