Has anyone encountered the DRM error with netflix in Windows 8 and found a fix for it. I consistently get prompted to install silverlight, and am informed of its successful installation, yet like a continuous loop Im asked to install it again @ the beginning of streaming a movie.

Can you try and seeing if going to C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\PlayReady and deleting mspr.hds solves your problem?

For me, I had to:
Close all Chrome windows (and any other browsers)
Check my systray and right-click any Chrome icons and click Exit
Delete C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\PlayReady\mspr.hds
Start Internet Explorer
Login to Netflix, attempt to play a video, get the error at 20% after a long freeze
Close IE
Delete mspr.hds again
Open IE and try to play again, get another error at 98%
Close IE and delete mspr.hds again
Open IE one last time and play
Then it worked, in both IE and Chrome.
