"a new TV with a Netflix badge" is a deeply troubling scenario.  I
expect my TV to display whatever pixels I push at it.  Having
service-lock-in based on my hardware is just so brain-breakingly bad I
can't imagine how this even crossed your fingers without them cramping
from the blasphemy. :/

This is not what we want for anything, ever, let alone the open web.
