So far I have not been too impressed with the quality of MacOSX Leopard's iChat Theater. Whenever I have an iChat to another Mac on the local network (that is not running Leopard) the quality of the photos or shared files is extremely low. The only hint I could find was to increase the Quicktime streaming setting on both sides of the iChat connection but that has not improved anything.

The only other suggestion I have come across so far is that it works fine when it is a Leopard on both sides of the iChat. Hmm. Apple had promoted it as being usable with the Tiger MacOSX version for example but they meant to say "barely usable".
