No, as of now, the 360 will automatically lower the quality if the bandwidth becomes limited (like during peak weeknights).
It won't ever go back unless you completely stop the video and re-start it then fast forward.
Forums plz.
and arttemis summed it up nicely.
Yes, and No. The 360 will only buffer up to a certain point. After that nothing.
While paused for 2-3 mins., it will buffer up to about 5 minutes or so of show.. (just like streaming video on PC) .. the problem with HD is that no more buffering happens after that..
There isn't much to getting around the HD buffer limit (AFAIK) except you can watch a bit more and then you'd have to pause again.
However, pausing SD shows/movies does build a buffer that should allow you to see the entire thing.
Also, if you're on wireless network, try to strengthen your signal. I elevated my wireless router, which worked fine for years for gaming, and that little bit of boost has kept my quality from dropping from HD most of the time. Even then, when it says it's adjusting video playback, the quality change (if any) is imperceptable.

Fair enough.. I guess I need to read what's appropriate talk for blogs. So many rules on destructoid nowadays. Anyway, thanks you guys for the answers, just what I needed.
@Lolthien : there are as many rules on the c-blogs now as there were 2 years ago. also, you hsould know that you don't make a blog to ask a question, you make a forum for that.
