Could Netflix replace TLS with some in-house alternative that would push more processing to the client? Something that pre-encrypts the content on disk before sending, eliminating some of the TLS processing requirements?

If you pre-encrypt contents on disk, it wouldn't be a per-user unique key.

  The content is already encrypted anyway for DRM. I'd assume TLS is used in large part for privacy reasons (so ISPs can't sell info on what shows are popular)
