Steve's reply just gave me an idea for a really hacky workaround that
might actually work.

Grab the Android SDK, run Android in a VM, install and use the Netflix
Android app.

When you run Android in a VM in the SDK, you're running bona-fide
Android. So, yeah, it might work. You might need to do some kind of
workaround for 'device compatibility', especially if you want to fill
a 720p or 1080p display...
