Ya, I'm not really clear on their whole subscription thing. HD videos and archived stuff being locked behind the pay wall seems doubly weird to me now that you can just watch it all on youtube. It's usually a day or two after it hits the site, so I guess they are hoping that is what motivates people to buy the sub?

Never thought so many people care about video resolution.

I never watch the HD videos anyway. My internet sucks and they take too long to load.

What's the current "high" resolution non-subscribers get? is it 560? I think the quality looks just fine without the "HD" button. But it's a bit weird it's free on youtube, since it is a part of the subscription.

They don't have to pay to host them on youtube...

Then why not embed the youtube videos?
