OnDemand Movie ordered in HD, delivered in SD

[pcvandusen]

I ordered a movie On Demand in HD. When I viewed it on my 27" iMac, connected via ethernet to the modem, the movie was delivered in what obviously was SD. Pixelization was evident.

Is HD quality viewing only available when a movie is viewed on a HD TV via the HD DVR box? Or should HD quality be expected when viewed on a desktop computer also?

I don't want to spend the extra money to rent HD, when SD is all I will get when I view it on my computer.

Thanks for your help in advance.

Pretty sure when you rent a movie, it shows down at the bottm that other than viewing on stb other devices are in SD only.
