Netflix use "microsoft silverlight" which currently isn't supported by windows mobile 6.x.

Currently it is planned for Windows 7.

Quote:

Silverlight for Mobile will be used to run Silverlight content on mobile devices. The first Community Technology Preview (CTP) for Windows Mobile 6 was expected in the 2nd Quarter of 2008, but it still not officially announced. Microsoft has stopped focusing on bringing Silverlight to Windows Mobile 6.x and is planning to include it in Windows Mobile 7.[56] Nokia has announced plans to make Silverlight for Mobile available for S60 on Symbian OS, as well as for Series 40 devices and Nokia Internet tablets.[64] Silverlight for Mobile will initially support Silverlight 2 content and .NET languages.[4]

Unless someone can get silverlight to work on our phones, it's a no go.

Your best options are remote desktop or slingo. There are also programs for streaming media to your phone.

Dont you have to have a BB acct in order to use this cab? Also, when you say this works are you talking about streaming BB movies to your TP2? I was curious and tried this cab and noticed there was no selection for watching instantly or streaming. I figured it was because I'm not a member...but who is nowadays!? If you have an acct that you're willing to share for streaming in box me.
