If anybody at Engadget HD ever figures out the HD streaming issue I'm sure a lot of us would love to know the solution.
I love Netflix streaming but HD on the Xbox is a total crap shoot. 9 times out of 10 shows that you know should be streaming in HD (30 Rock for example) end up streaming in SD. The few times you are lucky enough to see the "Presented in HD" tag it will usually downgrade to SD at some point during the show.
And since I'm running 8-10 Mbps ethernet directly to the Xbox from my router its got to be the Xbox itself. My Apple TV runs off the same connection in the living room has no problem streaming HD. Weird.
The phone has 256MB of RAM and a 1GHz processor, which do the job reasonably well, though the Anna interface will likely leave something to be desired for many smartphone users.

Do you have DSL by any chance? I ask since only my friends with DSL have issues with streaming for some reason...so far.
No. I've got Comcast cable internet (the higher of the two speeds offered).
Its really weird.
