* UPDATE #2 *
I took my Roku over to my friends house and set it up for them as a gift, I had the same issue with no sound from the Roku box as I did on the WD Live Plus: Sound was no working, I had to get out of the movie and try several times before it would work.
I went home and tried watching some shows on my HTPC and laptop, same issue. I am on hold with Netflix right now to talk to them about the problem, so it looks like this is a Netflix problem and not WD Live issue.

I hung up, tried again, and this time I was put on hold for about 10 minutes, and then told that if I was going to stream HD Video, I needed to use the digital out for audio. What? I was trying to watch a SD Episode of South Park, and a SD old movie (Where Eagles Dare).

PRO-TIP: For whatever reason, the Netflix stream will default to 4:3, regardless of the settings on the WD. My TV was set to
