...is now in HD (yes, really), and almost-tv-quality by default (depending on your connection)

The geeky details

That's going to be so useful when watching TV shows on a tiny screen on your computer monitor, innit?

And, by the way, how can something be HD and nearly TV quality? HD is better than TV quality.

My computer monitor is vaguely the same size as my TV

Sorry, feel free to slap me for bad grammar. It's two separate quality streams (since you need a pipe the size of the london underground to stream HD :p)

I wasn't having a go at you, I was having a go at the BBC - they are the ones calling their slightly better stream "HD", which it clearly is not. That's just the way I roll, dawg

haha, it's HD (the article explains that BBC HD would never have allowed the term to be used otherwise), if you have a screen big enough and with good enough quality (and a decent enough connection, although downloads are HD too) you should see some improvement when you go full screen

But then again, I haven't tested it
