The streaming quality is good now and also lovefilm are now streaming a lot of movies in hd as well.....I really think jriver should consider adding the feature especially now people are dumping Microsoft mce
Regarding my opinion about JRiver support: Oh yes, please!
Regarding quality:
I checked both Lovefilm.co.uk and .no, and the Norwegian site contains much more detailed info. The only common bit is that HD material streams at about 2Mbit/s. In Norway, many movies stream at so called medium quality, around 0.8Mbit/s. Even the HD material is thus less than 1/10 of bluray bitrate.... so even if some percieve streaming quality as good, it can never be comparable, even to old-fashion DVDs.
Audio is heavily compressed, AAC 96kbps or 128kbps (HD material). And STEREO only, no multichannel. I could live with stereo, at least for TV series and crappy potato-crisp-and-beer evenings-at-home-alone movies. But 128kbps???
Let's trust it will get better.
