My girlfriend and I tried using rabbit but we weren't happy with the performance. Their implementation is actually to open netflix on a virtual machine GUI and use browser tricks to try to make it seem like you're just controlling the computer like its your desktop. The performance tends to be bad because there is two hops, from netflix to their servers, and their servers to you.
Also used it with my girlfriend. Didn't cause any problems, sitting on different continents (EU, US).
The only problems I experienced were with the sound slider.
