    Works fine on my Duo. Are you trying to stream them across a WiFi link, like to a wireless laptop? If so that is the problem.

    Indeed all VU+ & ET boxes work fine on streaming HD video. Apart from a wireless network (that almost certainly gives bandwidth problems on HD-streaming) a possible cause is the PC you are streaming to (as HD decoding requires a pretty mature CPU).
    Anyway: don't blame you DUO, there's nothing wrong with that.

    HD TV seems to be recorded at roughly 1.5MB / second so I don't know why it wouldn't stream fine over a decent wireless network?

    None of the smartphone / tablet apps support HD streaming so I would assume the limitation is with them rather than the wireless network!

    It's not as simple as that. HD channels can easily reach 17Mbps in moments of peak activity. On a Wireless G network (54Mbps) average data throughput after error correction is 22Mbps, and that is when there is 100% signal quality. Move the tx and rx aerials just a few meters apart and you won't get anywhere near that rate. Anyway the proof of the pudding is in the eating; HD channels stream fine over a wired home network, but not a wireless one.
