YouTube in 1080p

[Westoncreg]

So I think I found a trick to get YouTube to let you view full HD video, set internet explorer to desktop preferred, go to YouTube and select a video and the video will be viewable. Next hit the gear icon and select 1080p and boom your there. ��
Go to Internet Explorer settings

Set website Preference to desktop

Go to youtube and select a video if you haven't already

Click the Gear icon in the lower right had corner and change it to 1080p

You used to be able to do this trick in 8.0 but it was changed at some point (probably Google's fault). Good to have it back even though playback smoothness in 8.1 currently sucks.
