First, let me start by saying this is a bit of a kludge and does not actually run Netflix on the TF directly...
If you are still with me, here is what I did: I used MyDesktop (which is under MyCloud in your apps) to play it on my desktop computer.
I logged into MyDesktop, then opened a browser window on my desktop. I navigated to the Netflix web page and logged into my account. I selected a movie and hit play. Voila! Netflix on my TF!
It worked, but the playback wasn't the greatest - passable but not perfect. Plus, the audio seemed to be off by a half second. I don't know if it was just my wifi connection or the fact that this kludge job had to go through multiple pipelines to actually work. Try it out and see if your experience is any different.
ALSO, this method works for Media Center as well, but there is on additional caveat: the TF can't see Media Center when it's running in full screen mode. So I just launched it on my desktop, shrunk it down to a window, and then was able to access it using the above method. When I watched something using my Media Center the frame rate seemed to be a bit lower than normal (worse than when I played something on Netflix).
I hope others find this at least somewhat useful. It's not perfect, but it may get some of us by until the actual Netflix app gets launched.
