Kinda sounds to me like you'd be better suited with something like the Amazon Fire TV. Services like Netflix, Hulu or Vudu? (is this similar to ultraviolet?) simply don't mesh well with XBMC. You can launch the external Windows store apps from within XBMC, but it's a bit of a pain to setup and hardly a flawless experience. You can perhaps get an extension for Netflix, but they tend to be pretty poorly implemented, even the YouTube and Twitch extensions suck ass, videos randomly don't load, the UI is horrible, it's just all round a bad experience. And I'm saying this as a hardcore user of XBMC, that absolutely loves XBMC for playing local network content. It just sucks ass for online services (for the most part).
On the other hand, you can quite easily install XBMC on fire TV and it works flawlessly. Along with pretty much any other Android App.
