    Mind Blowing SM: Broadcasting WITHOUT encoder but STILL HD?!

    Because I still haven't received my new laptop, (next day delivery? I've been waiting 3 days now, fuck), I've been having to go encoder-less lately.

    I've been doing GOLD shows mostly (with decreasing success, bah). However I noticed last night that I STILL showed up as having HD in my stream!!! I was stunned by this - I was using the DSL quality setting! The only thing is, is that because I wasn't using the encoder, the visual quality of my stream did not look at all sharp. Instead of my stream being smaller but completely sharp, it was large but seemed inflated. Almost like it was the same quality as the smaller stream just blown up to fit the HD size. My placement fluctuated between 2nd and 3rd page.

    Has anyone else had this experience?

    Did you select the HD panel before you stream? If you did, you will still show up with the HD icon but your feed won't be HD, lol!

    No, I selected the DSL quality setting - no HD.

    I checked numerous times, I also stopped my stream and re-started it again to check that way also, and yes - I had both the HD icon showing and my stream was the large "HD" size" using this format.

    Consider yourself lucky, then. I was recently away for a week, and had a very slow internet connection to cam with while I was away, so I had to use the DSL setting, also. I didn't register in HD. . and then when I got back HOME and was using my fast connection with the encoder. . I was STILL in nowhere land/not registering in HD for like a day after.
