Netflix and Windows 7

[Adcadet]

My family runs a HTPC upstairs, Windows 7 pro. We use it to watch Netflix. Yesterday it said we weren't authorized and showed us the logon page. It wouldn't let us log on. Wife called Netflix, who said that they don't support WMC (Windows 7). I know people have had all sorts of issues with WMC 7 and Netflix, but I'm wondering if you guys know if something has changed. Is this somehow related to Windows 8? I know we can fire up a web browser to get Netflix, but we'd really like to avoid having to pull out a keyboard.

Netflix relies on Silverlight and I believe that Netflix support in WMC is via third-party plug-in rather than native to the app. I'd probably start with a repair install of Silverlight and/or removing and re-adding Media Center from Add/Remove Windows components and see where that gets you.
