This seems like just an extension of Netflix's desire to be on every device hooked up to a TV. They've been building apps for TVs, BluRay, Roku, AppleTV, etc for years. The cable box is another device, so they want to be on it. I think this is a little interesting because Netflix and Cable companies are seen as competition today, so I imagine there's been some resistance. I don't know if the streaming rights modification is that relevant, except as a reminder of how convoluted those agreements must be.
