Netflix - a new DRM Fail

Check the date of this post.  LOL
I was trying to punch up some "Doctor Who" while I exercise today (08 Jan 2014).

I guess it's no longer alright to have your computer set to the correct date.


DRM sucks. Just sayin'...

EDIT: https://support.netflix.com/en/node/208
The fix... Looks like a Silverlight file called mspr.hds somehow got corrupt.  All I had to do was delete it from:
%ProgramData%\Microsoft\PlayReady
... and I'm back in business.

(Did I mention DRM sucks?  Necessary evil for streaming content, I know, but still...)
