Not for free, that is about the best you are going to get.

Are you streaming the highest quality? I found with a 6Mbps connection and wireless I couldn't get the highest quality. I had to go hard wire to get the best quality.

Looks fine until there is fast motion then it jitters some.

Just proof that streaming isn't ready to replace the cable / satellite provider anytime soon.

Maybe the wireless connection is what is doing it. I will try it wired to see if i get a difference. I have fios, so i am getting 15 dedicated...

Thanks for the reply!

with 15mbps you should stream the highest quality no problem. are you having issues with blockiness, or with stuttering. playing HD in flash is very CPU intensive...what processor do you have?

also i've found netflix's HD quality to be better than that of Hulu, but netflix isn't free...

Hulu has HD? I thought that went away several months ago. Also, with Netflix, no HD streaming using a PC :(
