Netflix won't show up
I recently installed Windows 7 Pro on my laptop. This comes with Windows Media Center. I ran WMC and it should come with a Netflix module or app but i can not get mine to show up under "Movies". Any ideas on how to "update" WMC. I've reinstalled WMC multiple times with no luck. I've reinstalled Startlight twice with no luck. Any other ideas?

I do not think that netflix module is compatible with Windows 7.
Load Windows Media Center. Go to tasks, settings ,general, automatic download options, and click download now. When the download finishes netflix will appear under movies
I am also running windows 7.
Windows Media Center (WMC) for Vista Home Premium and Ultimate can access Netflix online media. Other versions of WMC including XP Media Center and the WMC included with Windows 7, as of this date (05/30/09), do not provide this access.
So unless there's been a change ....

LD147 - you have it working ?
Yes, I did it on my Windows 7 machine as i was typing the directions, and it worked.
It became available as of 10/22 (Windows 7 release date), I believe.

Go to the Tasks > Settings > General > Automatic Download Options and start an update there, the new tiles should arrive shortly.

I've done this before and when i just did it right now it said it was downloading the latest guide listings. I dont know if its in the same update but the "internet TV" icon isnt there either. It said it will notify me when its done. I dont know if i have to restart the computer or reinstall windows media center after the update or what but I have definitely tried this before.
Look under "Movies"
