Rumor has it that Watch Instantly fans might be seeing an upgrade, as CNET has heard news that the company will be rolling out 1080p sometime soon and 5.1 surround sound and closed captioning later this year. No information was given a Netflix's bout timing or any other details but this could mean that the company is moving o Microsoft Silverlight Version 3 which comes with additional tweaks for adaptive streaming and hardware graphics acceleration. No information is known on how much bandwidth is needed either but considering Microsoft already uses similar technology for the 1080p Instant On videos in the Zune Marketplace while only requiring 3 Mbps and VDU HDX 1080p videos only state a minimum of 4500 Kbps. This means that a massive bandwidth jump might not necessarily be necessary.
