Why can the PS3 work without a new DRM hardware?
Um. Because the PS3 has _ always _ had the DRM capabilities? It was legally necessary to allow it to play commercial BluRay discs?
The 8655 chip lacks the DRM capabilities. Netflix will apparently never allow their streams to be decoded by a device that lacks DRM.
It’s not WD saying you need a new player, it’s Netflix. They say the player must be DRM-capable. The Live Hub you purchased lacks the DRM capabilities and was never advertised to work with Netflix outside of the US (or now Canada).
I don’t see anywhere where either Netflix or WD said that the 8655-based Live Hubs would ever stream Netflix.
