As I already said, easy way for you to stop making wrong assumptions about Airvideo is download for free and try... or not. It makes no difference to me one way or the other.

It was a joke : however as airline wifi is so slow and I was talking about watching video on a PLANE my guess about the quality of said streamed video ON A PLANE is just as valid as your belief that it will be fine! However mine is at least based on the reality of knowing the speeds airline wifi runs at!
However the true fact of the matter is no you can't send a 720p video over a 1gb connection -FACT
It was being lowered in quality by air video server -FACT
Watching a streaming HD file via airline wifi will be like a slideshow as at best it will not even reach a 1mb speed and averages are more like .5 Mbps
You keep saying I need to try it! Well I don't iKNOW that a streamed HD file first of all ISNT HD once it leaves your PC AND 2nd of all will not be as good a quality as keeping the file on storage.
You just keep saying things that aren't true! Your weren't watching a HD video! 3G doesn't average over 1MB speeds!
Also remember whilst I thing air video is a GREAT app for the discussion we are having in this thread IE watching video from memory stick etc which air video CANT do then airvideo is an awful app!!
