We can't bring netflix to Linux because it does not support the needed DRM. What jerks. But then I guess And. is pretty far from Linux at this point. |

Quoting:M-Shield implements a hardware-protected, trusted execution environment (TEE) that runs on the OMAP processor, without requiring a dedicated chip or extra CPU cycles that might diminish video performance, claims TI."You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means." * ( * apologies to both Inigo Montoya and William Goldman) |

Actually I can site two cases already where Netflix is supporting Linux environments. One example is the Western Digital Media Center, WDTV-Plus. This product is built on top of a signed linux kernel, so the proprietary drm kernel driver is protected from alteration. The second example, is my shiny new HTC EVO 3D smartphone. On this Linux based (snapdragon processor) system we have a Netflix downloadable app that runs very smooth and glitch-free on the 960x540 display. The EVO 3D is protected by a strongly signed (2048 bit AES key) boot loader which in turn scans signed flash partitions before bringing up the device. |

@BernardSwiss: From American Heritage Dictionary 3rd ed: Quoting: Trust...So, yes, it means what they think it means, though they count on you not realizing that. |

Through virtualization of Android x86, you should be able to use the Android App for Netflicks, unless it has a binary runtime for ARM... That's what I'm going to try, anyway. |

So :-) should I be checking out the Dictionary for its listings on "satire" or "cynicism"? |

Add Boxee Box to the list of Linux devices with Netflix (it took them a while after device release to get it because they had to make it "secure" enough to meet the requirements). I'm assuming our new Vizio TV with a Netflix app runs embedded Linux of some sort as well (I don't remember if I've dug into the manual to be sure though). |

Srsly? The Boxee box has it? That almost makes me want to buy one so I can have a Linux media PC with *nix. Gosh I hate the people behind Netflix. Good service, cr@ppy DRM as always. ~Jeff |

Yup. Works quite nicely too. Though as I understand it the stuff they had to do to get the authorization made 3rd party development a bit tougher to do. |
