The main problem with Internet TV is that it can't deliver at a consistent quality.

For me Netflix has been generally fine apart from occasional peak hours when it drops to 720 or 480. After a while you get used to watching the start of shows or movies in blurryvision... iPlayer seemed to have got better but then last night watching Wallander in HD it buffered at several key moments and I had to rewind to catch subtitles I'd missed, only for it to skip at the same point again. I've rarely had problems with the services available on my TV itself, but it doesn't have Netflix or iPlayer so I can't compare them on there directly.
