Netflix on Windows 7 HTPC?

    Apologies if this has been asked and answered before... I did a search and couldn't find a solution.

    Is there any way to get Netflix to play on a Windows 7 htpc using the likes of XBMC, Boxee etc? It looks as though Boxee have disabled their Netflix app on windows completely and the xbmc app doesn't appear to work with an Irish account. I'm using UnBlock US, but still couldn't get it to work.

    Does anyone have any other suggestions, bar buying a separate media player?

    Thanks :)

    Yes, but that's not practical from the other side of the room. The Netflix site doesn't work with a remote control. Plus ideally I'd like to be able to switch between watching Netflix and watching videos on my home server using the same software. I'm lazy. :)

    Id also like to know how to do this bluecherry, as it would be so much simpler than having to whip out the wireless keyboard and minimizing xbmc and opening browser and typing... so on so forth.

    Im sure they were working on it in xbmc according to the forums over there, but nothing ever came of it i think.
