QuickFlix Iron Man 3 is 1.1GB in file size only:

That tells me it's very much SD only when you consider a 720P 42 minute TV program with DD5.1 is about 1.4Gig.

It is SD. Quickflix only have HD content on Sony Bravia devices, and even then not all stuff is HD.

The picture quality of their SD stuff is pretty decent though I would say. comparable with DVD (but not blu-ray of course)

I don't know if they do DD5.1 or just Stereo though.

Quickflix==lame by the sound of it.

And they wonder why people torrent/newsgroup stuff.

Nice to see that they are advertising House of Cards - but it's the 1990 UK one, not the 2013 US one.

Lame lame lame

Quickflix is totally lame and I am very surprised it is still in business here! I feel sorry for Quickflix as Sky has so much of the rights tied up that having a decent amount of content is almost impossible for them. Until enough people use the alternatives to move away from Sky we will not see this change.

I suggest if you are interested in this type of service that you spend about $5 extra a month, get a decent VPN provider and Netflix or Hulu, (plus so much more on-demand content available that you won't know what to watch first). It is truly remarkable the amount of legal content out there that such a connection can give you.

BTW old eyes; Netflix streaming quality with a good VPN serviice although not HD is better than the quality of some of the SD channels on Freeview (as long as you are in an area with decent broadband speeds) and you don't even need fibre.
