Computer users, however, have had to stick with plain old SD streams, which is probably okay if you are watching on a monitor but discouraged users that wanted to connect their media servers to an HDTV and save on having to purchase a set-top box or console.
So far it seems the titles available for HD streaming is limited, but GL says it should be about half of all streams soon.
If you are unsure the movie you want is available for HD streaming on the PC, hover the mouse over the cover art and check if it says "HD Available."
As with HD streams through set-top boxes like Roku and the PS3, HD is only available up to 720p.
