You can get a Netflix stream that maybe doesn't look as good as it should do for something that is labelled Super HD on the title details.

Is it because the original content just isn't good, or is it because although it should be streaming at Super HD, either the Netflix servers aren't dishing up the 4300 or 5800 kbps of super HD streams or the Tivo connection is struggling and giving a lower streaming rate?

If the device streaming info only shows 1080HD for any quality 1080 stream, you don't know. But I it shows 1080 Super HD when it does get a Super HD stream, and the quality isn't very good, then you know it's the content. If it only shows 1080HD, on a super HD title, then you know there is congestion somewhere in the streaming.
