It seems like it's mostly a North American thing so far:
- Nintendo TVii doesn't replace your existing cable box, it works with services you've subscribed to
- asks for your cable provider and zip code
- will support “all” major U.S. and Canadian cable and satellite TV providers
- will not be a Tivo itself, but works in conjunction with it
Netflix has plans to expand to Europe and Latin America in the coming years.
But I doubt if they'll have deals with local cable and satellite TV providers, though maybe in Europe in the future.
To get the most out of this service you need to reside in the US (or Canada), for now.
