Well considering an uncompressed HD video would run into the hundreds of GB per hour, it's apparent that Netflix is already doing some compression on the video to get it down to a few GB per hour.
Netflix pays for the infrastructure to deliver their content, so it's in their best interests to have the best compression they can for the quality they want to deliver, from a basic costs point of view.
