Why would you stream HD anyway? You don't need it on a device that is not capable of viewing all the HD pixels. The iPhone screen is 960 x 640 pixels, the iPad is 1024 x 768, and the KFire is 1024 x 600. The lowest resolution of HD video is 1280 x 720 pixels, which is bigger than any of those screens. Full size HD is 1920 x 1080 pixels, which is way too big. Streaming HD is just a waste of bandwidth unless you are streaming to a larger screen.
