The Netflix numbers are definitely wrong. Of the 10434 titles on there 3687 are TV Shows, or more specifically seasons of TV shows.
Assuming 2 hours/movie and 15 hours/tv show season, the number rolls around to 72,486 Hours of content. Let's round that to 75,000 hours for convenience sake.
Assuming an average bitrate of 4Mbps, it comes to about 135 TB.
Which is why the Netflix Open Connect box works so well; Netflix can dump their entire catalog onto 2 of those boxes (well, it will take a few more since Netflix will be caching multiple versions of the files are different bitrates, but I wouldn't be surprised if the entire catalog in all bitrates can fit into 1 rack)
