Have they actually said the streaming will be in HD?
I'd love it if it was, and plenty of people in the UK have internet connections that are capable of streaming HD, but I just can't see it happening unfortunately.
no, as you can see from the screenshot they are going to take a pal broadcast and squeeze it down into that frame and have those avatars at the bottom so it will be small and crisp looking, but still low res. It is the same crap the pull on the Inside Xbox videos.
@inteller Its just a screen shot. There could be an option to go full screen and it could be in HD. But I would think if it was really going to be in HD they would at least mention it in their press realease.
On other note, why don't us Americans get TV on our consoles? The PS3 already does and I think this is the second time the Xbox has gotten some type of TV functionality in Europe. We are totally getting shafted.
"Ah, HD DVD, our old friend - we thought we'd never see you again. But there was no mistaking it, here's the logo tucked away in Chinese manufacturer TCL's booth on a China Blue HD deck next to a similar Blu-ray player."

Why not? Netflix streams in 720p HD on this side of the pond...
