FWIW, MythTV (and, for that matter, GNU/Linux) does not (and will likely 
never) support Netflix streaming, since it's using Windows-only 
Silverlight features.  So, to get Netflix streaming, you'd likely need 
to get something like a Roku player or Wii or XBox 360 (plus XBox Live 
Gold membership) or PS3 or a Windows system or ... something that's not 
MythTV (nor the underlying GNU/Linux distro on which you're running MythTV).

As for Hulu, well, I don't see it having a bright (and free-of-charge) 
future, but that may just be me.
