It's hard to complain about free stuff but I am curious what other opinions are on the streaming video quality.
Maybe I'm just spoiled but this stuff is almost unwatchable. The floor is refreshing in large macroblocks. Sometimes you see the wood tiles on the floor, other times it looks smooth as sand. Players have macroblocking going on all around them, etc.
I'm using an iPad 2 on a 16mbps wireless n. I expected better.
Is there a setting I'm missing on the app to improve this?

No there's no setting you can change for streaming. I'm on a slower connection (6 down but it's really more like 4.5) and I wouldn't say it's "bad", but it's certainly not great. I'm on iPad 1.

Fast action has always been an issue with streaming at lower bandwidths. There are so many factors that can affect PQ especially if you are on a 3G connection on the iPad 2.
I have the iPad 2 as well and the only time I get a reallly good stream is when I'm on WiFi.
Static graphics are fine.
It's the motion that's killing the video (as would be expected) but I really thought they wouldn't be compressing it as much as they are.
I guess Netflix has set too high of expectations for streaming.
I like free. I am frustrated with how they implemented the "My Brackets" though. Dropping the web page in was the wrong way to go.
