Due to DRM, Netflix isn't usable at all under Linux on the desktop, not even for sighted people. Thank Hollywood for that. In Linux-only households, the only way to use Netflix is via a "Netflix-ready" device. The vast majority of those aren't accessible at all. They're "consumer electronics", so go figure. Lots of folks go for the Roku streaming player, which is recommended by Netflix. Are you ready for a laugh? The Roku device runs an embedded Linux! There's no reason that it couldn't provide some spoken feedback, but it doesn't do so today. For a blind person, the AppleTV might work. It supports Netflix, and it is accessible using VoiceOver. I looked at one late last year, but I decided not to buy it. For one thing, I suspect that you have to manage it with iTunes. I don't own a Windows machine or a Mac, so this is a show-stopper for me. Second, it only supports HDMI output. If you're using an older TV, as I was at the time, you're out of luck! -- Chris
