Hi

We can reproduce the issue with Netflix, Hulu etc, using their Metro based apps. We know why they are not working, but there is no quick fix to this, as it's due to the way the apps render pixels to the screen. We can fix it, it's just not going to be in the next release, but probably in Q1 2013.

In the meantime, these services should work fine using a web browser to watch the content, rather than the app.
