Netflix has good news for couch potatoes – it is now capable of streaming more than half its High Definition (HD) videos to PCs and Macs. Assuming a video stream is ready to be streamed in HD, then it will give a shout out with “HD Available” similar to what you see above. More reason to order pizza and stay in each evening, eh? Bear in mind that this will only be in 720p, so you can forget about full HD at the moment (1080p). Just make sure your line is fast enough to support larger amounts of data being fired!
