I'm pretty sure if I'm following HD spec, it's HD.
And yes, it's being delivered "over the web". But tell me, what do you think it takes? I don't think the feat is very miraculous, frankly.

Yup I am streaming 720p with no problem, but yes the end user can't have a crappy computer or connection. But seriously if you want to watch HD tv at home in your living room do you plop down a 25" SD tube style TV? Nope you have to plunk down some coin to enjoy that quality.
Computers are the same way. If you don't have the equipment you won't get the quality. When marketing an HD site you are marketing to people that can handle HD. Now as a secondary for our HD sites we stream 480p too which is also technically HD. Its a lot easier to view and less cpu cycles being at 854 x 480. Which isn't a ton larger than SD DVD quality.
But yes you CAN stream 720p at 1280x720.
