Best Video Streaming Apps and websites for retina


i have been trying out several apps , websites try , determine ones show highest quality image. have 25mb down/ 3mb cable internet used test. since none of them list how high go in resolution have judge looking @ it. here results.

highest quality image streaming tv/movie apps.

1st place: nbc app. far best image. appears either 720p or 1080p
2nd place: abc app. though app has been updated retina, actual streaming of shows appears between 480 , 720p.
3rd place: netflix. sadly, watching animated movies , tv shows have jagged lines due resolution. appears 480p.

haven't had chance test hulu plus app don't have subscription. please post results.

highest quality website streaming

1st place: apple. ironically video demonstrates true beauty of ipad streaming videos apple's own website. 1080p
2nd place: youtube. html5 mobile website not allow set preference of resolution instead uses algorithm determine resolution according internet speed. appears between 720p , 1080p.
3rd place: vimeo. mobile html5 streaming appears maxxed @ 720p compared desktop site provide full 1080p streaming.

please feel free add own considerations , changes should make this.
 

hulu 720p (do offer 1080p content?)
