Glitch Exposes "Netflix Player"

The Hacking Netflix site has an interesting bit of news: Glitch Exposes "Netflix Player".

Could this be the big TiVo-Netflix partnership offering downloadable movies that was announced last year? If the screenshot is real, it sure looks like a similar screen to what you get when you connect your TiVo online account with your TiVo boxes.
