ABC.com Adds HD Video Streaming

ABC.com is now beta testing a player that will allow it to stream television shows in high-definition. The player is produced by Move Networks, and recommends a 2Mbps or faster broadband connection, 128MB of video RAM, 1 GB of RAM, and a resolution of at least 1300x770 pixels.

Only four episodes from four different shows are currently available from "Desperate Housewives," "Grey's Anatomy," "Lost," and "Ugly Betty." Other shows will be added soon, ABC says. All episodes are shown with what ABC calls "limited commercial interruptions," although viewers are not permitted to skip those commercials that do exist.
