3 Gbps which is easily confusable with 3Mbps in some third world countries... |

Re: Analog Cable all the way!
I'm pretty happy with all optical audio and S-video connecting a DirecTivo and DVD player through a receiver to a Sony Trinitron....
I won't buy HDTV until I can get a 55" inch flat panel without having to take out a loan.  |

38Mbps on the wire.
assuming that thing is twice as fat as a 1080I broadcast of 19Mbps it's gonna eat one channel of analog.
just when you thought digital compression was great, we we're getting 10-12 SD's and 3 HD's per 6Mhz. now with 1080P it's back to a 1:1 ratio, that kinda sucks  .

Maybe HDTV isn't in your future yet, but don't expect to stay on analog cable for too much longer. Eventually analog cable will be phased out, in favor of digital. |

Go analog! Cheap and good IMO. I might think HD TV in about 5-10 years in the future, but right now I have no true interest in high quality television. |

| hdtv IS nice but...
well, while I'll freely admit that the current HDTV offerings from cable and sat are pretty hobbiest, man those channels that are HD are pretty f-in amazing. I'll probably be canceling HD service for the near term, but when the cable company offers a full HD lineup, I'll sign back up. |

Re: Current speed?
With digital TV it's something else, we are talking of QUAMS, But 3Gbps is a lot. We can usually put few HDTV on a QUAM but a QUAM cannot handle this now. So basically, if you want to broadcast this you need to span the stream on few frequencies.

Re: hdtv IS nice but...
I love how Best Buy tries to pass off Plasma's for $3-4K and they're not even HDTV. A good set (Plasma+built in HDTV) is still around what, $7-9K? |

Are there even any HDTVs that support 1080p yet? Mine only says 1080i. |

Yes, Mitsubishi's 84" LCOS RPTV supports 1080p, full resolution.
But be ready to drop ~$21,000 for it. |

HDTV really does rock IMO if you love sports like me. Its a really good way to watch a game, when you have a 65" screen you need all the help of a HD Set you can get. Analog just does not look good that big. I would never go back. I rarley watch any TV in anaglog anymore. Just watch HD channels or movies. |

Pffbt. 3Gbps uncompressed. Whoop-tee-do.
Lets try 1Gbps *compressed*
»www.icair.org/pr/oct02/ntt.html
"SHD has four times the resolution of HDTV, and 24 times the resolution of standard definition video. Transmission of SHD via network requires sustainable high-speed connectivity of 1 Gbps over multiple "hops" without significant packet loss, delay or jitter.
The demonstration, done as part of Internet2's Fall 2002 Members Meeting in Los Angeles October 28-29, shows the potential for super high performance imaging and visualization applications over very high-speed networks.
The content, 3840 x 2048 SHD video, came from scientific instruments, computer graphics simulations, digitally scanned motion-picture films and digital still cameras. The imagery was successfully streamed from an NTT content server at StarLight, the National Science Foundation-sponsored optical exchange for advanced networks in Chicago, over the Internet2 Abilene backbone, to the USC Robert Zemeckis Center for Digital Arts." |

Re: Analog Cable all the way!
in a few years they will start wiping out analog all together, They would make more money that way also, less/no thefts, everyone buying a box, paying more per tv  , etc.
