Alright just tested House of Cards and apparently it will play up to 720p on that show. But New Girl and Cosmos will only play in SD. I tried Firefox and it's the same thing - only certain shows are allowed to play in HD through browsers. I don't have any trouble playing these shows in 1080p on my PS3 though.

I found a Reddit thread that claimed that certain cable companies (mainly Fox they said) will not allow HD streaming via browsers due to lack of DRM compared to apps or devices. That may be why certain shows can't be played in HD on a browser, which kinda sucks.

I dont thinks its a new thing, I get a lot of tv series that play sd on my pc and HD on my TV.

Anyone else having trouble getting HD video on their browser? I can get HD video on my PS3 but only SD on Chrome, and I even tried using the secret stream menu (Ctrl-Shift-Alt-S). The bitrate I can choose only goes up to 1750, which I believe is only 480p.

Chrome on OSX or Windows?

Also check you have up to date graphics drivers.

On Windows. I'll check my drivers but I'm pretty sure I updated them last month.

OK, so clearly this is a thing. Maybe I'll try downloading the Netflix app for Windows 8.1 to see if I can get HD content on my PC.

Google does it as well. When you rent HD movies through Play Store/YouTube, and stream it on your pc, it streams in SD.

The Windows 8.1 app won't give you HD either. Not sure why anyone would even use the app in this case.

Why do you say this ?

I can't get HD or Super HD with chrome but i always get HD with the windows 8 app.

But yeah i can only get Super HD with my PS3 which is annoying ...

US Military overseas have access to the Military Postal System (MPS). MPS is basically an extension of United States Postal System (USPS) where the military picks up the bill to get it from the port in New York/Florida/California to the overseas location.

This isn't really worth watching. It's a Prestige Drama wannabe and doesn't really have anything to offer besides pretty locations, pretty cars, and occasional nudity.

Why are strippers at the U.N. bad when they're great at strip clubs???
Just watched The Fall with X-Files lady.

Damn, hoping there's a Season 3. Soo good.

I've just finished Peaky Blinders. Oh man ...
that ending. Who's the woman ? I bet he won't choose Grace.
...

One of the best TV shows of the last years. It's going to be a loooooooooooong wait :(

The british are at the top of their game. They've been delivering some of the best shows ever in the last 5 years or so : Sherlock, Luther, Downton Abbey, Black Mirror, Utopia, Peaky blinders etc...

Now i need to finish watching Happy Valley so i can start The Fall Season 2.

I used this when I was in Iraq. I ordered a Xbox 1 off Amazon and had it shipped to me. It only took like 2 weeks to get to me in a warzone! This was in 2003 btw.

I'm halfway through season 2 of The Fall & severely disappointed with it so far :-/ Don't like the change in direction of the main characters & some of the situations/decisions feel completely out of character for what they built up in the first.

Major spoilers for season 1 / season 2:

I loved the focus in season 1 on showing him as a family man, the humdrum day to day of living with his wife & kids. I dislike tremendously the relationship with the babysitter. The whole sequence of him stalking Gillian Anderson's character in her hotel room bugged me tremendously. He should be changed from the first season as the noose gets closer around him, but I no longer feel he's believable, consistent, or as /interesting/ - it's turning into just another serial killer cop show and that disappoints after the strength of season 1.

Note, we're about half way season 2.
