High quality? The vids are "streamed" in ~800 Kbps, which at least for me is far from high quality and far from near TV quality. To compete with TV, you'll need at least 2 Mbps (sports, action, etc) even with h264 for SDTV. This kind of applications and services may revolutionize TV-viewing, but not in short term. The primary capability that Zennström and the guys possess is how to get media attention...
I've tried the beta, I'm really disappointed:/
