Thanks - remembered reading that now that you mentioned it, but I didnt own any HTC devices at that time. Plan on rooting for wifi tether anyway so I will be doing this.
Found an article about it - right here at android central of all places - involves editing the build.prop file - I have done this in the past for netflix on a pasrt device - not tough - but make a backup.
Figured I should pimp AC links on AC instead of pointing elsewhere:

YAY!!
PS - this thread should be a sticky
