A month ago it was selecting HD.
I'll have to try it out tonight and check - I haven't used it for a few days. Shaw recently lowered and started enforcing bandwidth caps, so it wouldn't surprise me one bit if they also started throttling Netflix traffic as well. I don't know how to check this out myself, but I never had any problem getting to HD-quality within a minute or so of watching a show/movie.
