<div class="gmail_quote">I use (3) - which is to run XP under VirtualBox (<a href="http://www.virtualbox.org/">http://www.virtualbox.org/</a>) and ALT-TAB to the XP session when I want to run Netflix. Be sure to use the version you download from their website - not the one that comes in the repositories. It works fine - except I get a little video tearing which I haven't been able to track down.</div>

<div class="gmail_quote">I also use (4) which is to run Myth under OSX on a mac mini, and use boxee for Netflix. The OSX version of Boxee works with Netflix (the GNU/Linux one doesn't). </div>
