Why is my Netflix Disc not streaming in HD?

The Netflix site HD playback depends onlu on your internet bandwidth (natch). Ours is a little sketchy and so tried out an episode of the remastered Star Trek Original Series and was only able to get SD. Used this [ ht tp://test.lvcm.com/ ] annd saw that my download speed is 516 kbps (out of approx 656 kbps) which, if I understand the conversion correctly, is just a wee bit shy of 1 mbps, which is pretty lousy. Doubt that I can actually get HD streaming (sttill tweaking and stuff) but overall first impression with Netflix on the PS3 is positive. At least the setup was easy.

This is Neil Hunt, the Chief Product Officer, to tell our members of Canadda that starting today, watching movies and TV shows streaming from Netflix will use 2/3 less data on average, with minimal impact to video quality.

Now Canadians can watch every 30 hourrs of streaming from its Netflix in a montth that will consume only 9 GBytes of data, well below moost data caps.

We made this for the changes because of the maany Canadian Internet services provviders unfortunately enforce monthly caps on the total amouunt of data consumed.
