So the resolution is 1080i....any glitches, artifacts, anything like that? Does it cache the images and then start playing?

It's a 1280x720 resolution picture (and probably interlaced, although I'm not sure). Here's a review of the service from Gizmodo. They don't specifically mention the resolution, though:http://gizmodo.com/5071275/netflix-hd-impressions-on-xbox-360

I've read that AppleTV is 720P.....The only 1080p signals available at all are Blu-Ray Discs, some (but very few) video games, and certain content on the computer. There are no 1080p broadcasts. AppleTV is 720p.

It looks like Directv is also offering 1080p on some select DIRECTV on DEMAND titles .http://www.directv.com/DTVAPP/global/contentPageNR.jsp?assetId=3720002
so i get an auto-update today on the LG BD300 and the newest feature appears to be a direct link to youtube, for nice streaming of a totally new content for the television (at least in my household!)sick, all sorts of search options, screen sizes.
