Netflix UK will never work on the Hub however there is a possibility that the iplayer may be added some day.

As I was thinking of buying one of these, could you shead some light on why Netflix won't be supported? Why is it on the standard WD TV?

Possibly something to do with DRM and some Netflix change when it was introduced in the UK.
