Have you considered power line ethernet? This is where you plug a powerline adapter near your router and plug the other near your Netflix box? It turns all the wall plugs in your home into ethernet ports for the interenet.
You could have just used your PC if it is near and attached a USB wireless adapter. Those run about $12 to $18 from Monoprice.com.
I would get atleast 3MB download speeds. Anything slower than that and your picture quality will not be good.

Let me google that for you (Open in New Window)

Wouldn't you be concerned about introducing noise into your AC that would degrade your audio system sound?

  The data is transmitted at different frequencies. There shouldn't be any degradation of audio quality. The link explains how it works. I doubt you'd notice the difference in a wireless connection.
  I tried it in an apartment..it works. I'm thinking it will work much better in a single family dwelling.
