They use a different codec then over the air so it doesn't need 19.2  
mbps for the similar quality (not that many shows even use that much  
bandwith).  The problem I find is that next to none of the already  
limited selection is actually HD...  =(   I think I have seen maybe  
2-3 out of 30-40 movies watched.
