L677 here two nights ago. DISH Platinum changed to BBMP overnight. My EHD is not having trouble. 
The adaptive streaming RULES compared to the old/slow overnight download. I too show stream quality of 4 green boxes.

Since you have been all over it until now, I would have presumed it would be you.Who do you think will wait up until 12:01am tonight to give us details of the update ?

Similar experience for me this evening. HD content would play for a few minutes, then there would be a 10-15 sec. delay and the "buffering screen" would appear, play for a few minutes, buffer, ... Finally the content froze and when I went back into the main menu it was reported the download did not complete. I have a 722 and am using the built in Dish HomePlug for the access.
I've not had any issues with my Netfix capable BD player sitting next to it with streaming HD content, albeit it is WiFi.
If I can overcome the performance problems with the Dish streaming I will strongly consider eliminating my NF sub.
The answer is to select the "Watch Later" option,give it time to get a good start buffering,it would be even better to let it finish buffering then select "Watch".HD content is alot more information and takes more time to download.I also have access to Netflix and have watched an HD program with no problems,Dish Network is supposed to be working on the problem of the length of time it takes to buffer an HD program.
When I watched the HD program from NetFlix for some reason it did not look right,compared to watching an HD program on my 722k.
I got notification from DISH that the 922 and 612 will not support the Blockbuster Movie Pass at release, and that support for the 922 and 612 is expected in NOVEMBER.
Also I got home tonight and notice my DVR now listed DISH Platinum is now listed as Blockbuster Movie Pass (See image below)

If that's the 'answer' or solution, what's new ? Anyone used to true streaming or "on demand" will quickly tire of waiting 30, 60, 120 minutes before you can start watching !
Netflix's "HD" was anything but !! It was good, but not HD, more like DVD quality, IMO.When I watched the HD program from NetFlix for some reason it did not look right,compared to watching an HD program on my 722k.
Streaming does not equal downloaded. There's nothing to delete other than the 'name' or listing. No space is taken up (or shouldn't be otherwise it's not "streaming"!).
WHAT!?!? They demoed it on a 922! I have to wait until November!?! Good thing I didn't cancel my Netflix subscription.
Thanks Hall. Please bear with me as I am a couple of notches below novice. So what is showing up in "MY Rentals"? Is it just a link to that show or movie?
Hopefully this "adaptive streaming" will be the answer,if not,then I would imagine we will hear"Houston,we have a problem"!.
Yea that's what I thought too what NetFlix's HD looked like.:rant:
Netflix hd streaming on my oppo looks phenomenal, not quite vudu hdx but close. That's on a 6mbps dsl connection.
I think a lot of what you get from Netflix depends on the device.
