Second question --- what format does the instant stream work with?

Posted by Will Hunting (aka JoeMetz) Apr 17 '12, 08:10

like am I looking at regular def stuff on an HDTV or does it adjust according to bandwidth?

Responses:

It adjusts but will be HD to the Roku if the bandwidth is there - oblique Apr 17, 08:14
depends on the model and the content. low end = 720p . high end = 1080p -- nm - decline Apr 17, 08:14 1
- 480p, FTW!!! -- nm - hqmiserable Apr 17, 08:23
In general, unless you change a setting, it will stream the highest quality. But I believe the lower-end Roku's cant do full HD. -- nm - Don Homer Apr 17, 08:13
Depends on the service. You can get HD on Amazon if you have the bandwidth. -- nm - David Apr 17, 08:12 3
- Dammit, I shoulda just broke down and bought the Potters last week for $32 when they were $4 each. - Will Hunting Apr 17, 08:15 2
  - the entire set on bluray was a pretty good price via amazon.uk, not sure if that price still is there though - tRuMaN, (not a knock off version) Apr 17, 08:21
  - FWIW, we picked up years 1-7 in a used media store for about $30. - David Apr 17, 08:17
