All those kids in your neighborhood downloading movies and playing on-line games are further degrading your ability to download through your cable modem. Most DSL users are stuck at 1.5Mb/sec.

I would think it would increase for the higher quality versions (like YouTube does).  When I hit the full screen button, that's when I can see the difference in quality and yes - the 1080p looks excellent, and it's pretty smooth for me.  I'm at work now, but I'm willing to bet the quality is just as nice at home with FIOS.<br><br>The problem, though, is that the screen is completely distorted when I go to full screen.  I have a 22" widescreen at home - so I should be ok, but I have a measly 20" monitor with 1600x1200 resolution at work (actually 2 of them side by side, so really a 3200x1200 resolution).  I imagine a lot of people have also a 4:3 monitor and resolution, so this can't be good.  Maybe it's a Firefox thing, but with ieTab, it doesn't even play correctly at full screen.  I guess I'll try IE.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Money Mike]]></dc:creator><pubDate>May 14th 2009 2:53PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://hd.engadget.com/2009/05/14/cbs-com-up-the-hd-streaming-ante-offers-1080p-hd-gallery-of-ful/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://hd.engadget.com/2009/05/14/cbs-com-up-the-hd-streaming-ante-offers-1080p-hd-gallery-of-ful/</guid><description><![CDATA[Nope, same problem using IE.

It's kind of ironic, but the article isn't even about Blu-ray.<br><br>I put it in your own words... why do you comment on something which you have no clue about? You DON'T need a PC that has twice the horsepower to play a Blu-ray movie! Flash movies are encoded in h264. This codec is also used in Blu-ray. Blu-ray also provides for VC-1 and MPEG2. They are no harder to decode than h264. So, you really need a PC with the same grunt as you'd need to watch a 1080p encoded flash movie. The only difference is that the video card needs to support HDCP (which is present in most cards released over the last two year). Next time, do your research before you post! ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[antler]]></dc:creator><pubDate>May 15th 2009 7:01AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://hd.engadget.com/2009/05/14/cbs-com-up-the-hd-streaming-ante-offers-1080p-hd-gallery-of-ful/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://hd.engadget.com/2009/05/14/cbs-com-up-the-hd-streaming-ante-offers-1080p-hd-gallery-of-ful/</guid><description><![CDATA[Think what he's trying to say is untick the GPU box and see what little difference it makes.<br><br>Flash is crap for this kind of stuff.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[NorthCranky]]></dc:creator><pubDate>May 15th 2009 9:20AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://hd.engadget.com/2009/05/14/cbs-com-up-the-hd-streaming-ante-offers-1080p-hd-gallery-of-ful/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://hd.engadget.com/2009/05/14/cbs-com-up-the-hd-streaming-ante-offers-1080p-hd-gallery-of-ful/</guid><description><![CDATA[@antler<br><br>Nobody is trolling you freak-o..

I'm getting large pixelations.  What's even more annoying, is that it won't resize to 4:3, but instead stretches to your screen, thereby distorting the pixels.<br><br>With Hulu, the full screen will block out the edges to create 4:3 or 16:9 with no fuss.  Though the image isn't as sharp as 720p or 1080p, it won't present me nearly as blurry video as the 480p on CBS.  And, no large pixelations either.<br><br>And to be honest, it just does not compare to the OTA 1080p broadcasts that CBS does.
