    I was just experiencing the very same problem.  I found the following advice under a different thread, and it worked!!  Do this:

    Open Windows Media Center, then go to Tasks and then click on Settings and then General then click on Automatic Download Options and then Download Now.

    This did not help me at all. I tried it several times and the Netflix icon did not show. I upgraded Silverlight but it was at the latest version so no help there...   I will try the next help message below and do a update....   thanks for the try though........

    Hi George,

    First make sure you have the latest version of **Silverlight******Installed on your computer.

    a. Open Media Center, choose Settings, General, Automatic Download Options, and ensure that the 'Download when connected' is enabled. The Netflix tile will appear after the next Media Center Guide download time has passed.

    b. Open Media Center, choose Settings, General, Automatic Download Options, and select the Download Now button at the bottom. It may take some time depending on your connection speed.

    After the Netflix tile appears within Media Center, you will have to install the Netflix application.

    c. You can click on Install to install the software.

    You may also try this direct link for the Netflix software add-on for Media Center.

    **http://download.microsoft.com/download/D/D/8/DD8BD495-9A5A-46DB-B95E-A846AF35915E/NetflixInWindowsMediaCenter.exe** ****

    d. ****When the installation is complete you'll be prompted to enter your Netflix username and password, or start a free trial if you are not already a member.
