How to watch vids in HD?

I can't seem to find the option to play videos in HD on here on Treehouse. I can download them in HD, but how can I select this on the built in video player? Thanks.

You can download the video in HD, but currently there's no way to stream it in HD

If there's not a bulk download option that's pretty laughable. It hurts my eyes to stare at these low resolutions, essentially making me unable to use the platform.

you know what, I've actually sent an email to Treehouse support regarding this very issue about couple weeks ago, they promise this will be taken care of ASAP, but you know, perhaps it takes time.

There's iTunes feed options for some courses that let you bulk downloads, but I think the iTunes feed only link you to low res video versions.

Yeah that's really surprising. They are basically making the point that the product is a low-res video tutorial series which is not very endearing. What's up Treehouse do you not want to deal with the bandwidth? People are paying pretty handsomely for the service...
