I can too. I haven't tried 1080p but I believe it is possible to get that to at least play (although downscaled). No issues with 720p..

All of my 1080 and 720 files play without buffering on my atv2, and do so over wireless (I actually have an Ethernet cable ran to it, but unplugged it to test wifi and have yet needed to plug it back in. However, wifi is a fickle mistress, and wired is almost always preferred).

Jailbroken Atv2
Software: 4.3 (2557)
XBMC Version 10.0.9
I have windows xp on my pc. My network is wireless, but I have gone back and forth to a wired connection. I have Fios internet and am currently using their router. I have xbmc version 10.1 on my pc which by the way plays HD movies effortlessly, even ones from icefilms.
Last night I set up SMB sharing from my pc. Up until now I have been just trying to get icefilms to work (with hd content). I gave up on that idea and decided to try maybe streaming movies from my pc in hopes of better luck. So far I am still having the issues with HD content.
I am not the most knowledable member here by far, but I can follow instructions, I just need to be put in the right direction.
thanks............

Make sure you update to a recent nightly version, not just the ancient cydia version if that's the version you installed.
Also, this HD material - is it in xvid or h264? The ATV2 cpu is weaksauce, and will struggle with high res xvid material. It will however use special hardware to do h264 content splendidly.
