Netflix watch now movies not displaying on tv via s-video

Hi,

I'm having a very strange problem.  I have my computer hooked up to my tv using s-video and everything is working fine.  I can see the computer monitor on the tv screen, but when I go to Netflix.com to use their "watch now" feature, the movie is just a dark purple color on the tv screen, but it is actually showing on the computer screen.  It must be some sort of protection they have on the movies or something because I can see all of the netflix movie controls on the tv and I can see the netflix starter to the movie, but the second it starts playing the tv doesn't show the movie, but the computer does.

I've looked around online, but no one seems to be having this problem.  I can watch other movies directly through windows media player on the same setup, it's just Netflix's online player that seems to have the problem.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
