FORCE HD on NETFLIX EDIT:PCSet Netflix Silverlight Bit Rate on PC easy wayWhile a netflix video is playing (not full screen ) you can also have the mouse pointer on the video in a clear spot away from (above) progress bar and hold down the shift and alt keys only while left clicking on mousethis will open up an dialog box you can select stream manager there.For some reason I could not find this exact procedure on the web I figured this out (more likely on accident) when trying some that I read about. I use this all the time in WMC or Browser. Everybody else was saying 3 or 4 keystrokes + clicking mouse or without clicking mouse,while they will work it is not necessary if you would rather use mouse + 2 keys onlyUsually,2300- 4500 for 720p (see chart below ) or even better (4500 + for 1080p 6000+ for super HD 1080p if you have it ) NOTE: I have done min. HD as low as 2300 but it buffers and is not always stable there.if have a 3mbps or less service just use the highest one visible or automatic.

In the website player, you have to click the picture to give it keyboard focus. The player will not respond to the CTRL-SHIFT-ALT commands when in full-screen mode, though if you bring up one of the overlay displays it will remain up when you switch to full-screen.1750 Kbps is 480x720 which is not HD.Thanks. No wonder why I could not get the info to display when watching on the website. I tried with when I had the videos full screen. The W8 App worked with the commands fine. Is this corrected in Win 8 8.1?
If your device supports Netflix Ultra HD streaming and you have a plan that offers it, you can search Netflix for the terms '4K' or 'UltraHD' to find titles available in Ultra HD. If you're browsing for titles, you can also look for an Ultra HD icon to find Ultra HD shows and movies.
I have been searching silverlight discussion for a way to have silverlight do this automatically. I use PlayLater recorder, which should be able to record in 720p but no matter how long I let a movie run in IE at HD, I can not get the buffering to work with Playlater which works without opening IE, so no way to access manual buffering setting. I was hoping that using this setting through IE and playing long enough in HD might force it to default to that.BTW, when you check manual buffering, if you want HD immediately drag time played to beginning of movie. It will not start until bufferer is ready for HD Play.Any ideas for Win 7'Do you still need to buffer in Windows 8? From what I have read it is not an issueThe commands seem to work in win 7 full screen now.
