    Yes, but you already have the plugin community providing full Netflix and Hulu support via PlayOn. Which while not perfect, solves most people’s needs. Although integrated Netflix support would be great.

    Personally I think Netflix would be a big win for them.  While it’s true that there are workarounds, I don’t use them because they aren’t as good as the client built into 7MC or other CE devices.  That said, I don’t think they’d need a PlayReady license to do Netflix on the PC (how hard would it be to wrap Silverlight?), so I’m hoping for native support on extenders.

    CableCard, and any other tuners that come which require PlayReady on the PC, is of course the biggest target I think, but like autoboy mentioned I don’t think the HD200 (which uses Sigma’s 8635 – i.e. the one w/ less DRM) can support it (I don’t think PlayReady is required for non-PC support of the content) but who knows, maybe it is just for Netflix or some other purpose.
