Overview

The Netflix Media Center add-in is a 10-ft interface for accessing the Netflix Watch Instantly library, as well as your DVD Queue. While many devices have a Watch Instantly app, very few let you manage your queue as well.  The cost for streaming instantly is $7.99/month. The streaming library has a wide variety of movies and TV shows, but very few new releases. Starting in September 2011, the fee for mail-in discs (which have a newer and more complete selection) is an additional 7.99, at the least.


Installation

Netflix will automatically install as a tile on your Windows Media Center Start screen, in the Movies section. If you have a new OS installation, and still don't see it, you can force a download by going to Tasks>Settings>General>Automatic Update Options, and manually updating.[1]
