    So according to Netflix's website, link, they recommend 3 Mbps for SD and 5 Mbps for HD. Is it just me, or does 5 Mbps seem really low for HD? How do they avoid bit starved scenes? I don't have an HD subscription, so just curious. Caveat emptor as they say.

    Are you speaking from experience? Are they full of artifacts especially for dark scenes?

    Yes, and yes. And my internet connection is 30 Mb/s down and 7 Mb/s up. So it's not at my end.
