Be it the Cablevision head-end DVR, or via Homezone. |

Will you be able to upgrade to the HD version in the future if, and when, you're ready? |

Roselle, IL | Max TVs Per Home?
Does anyone know that Max amount of TVs that might be able to hookup to "Project Lightspeed"? A lot of houses have more than 1 TV and if this IPTV isnt properly compressed, more than a few TVs could chew up bandwidth in a hurry. |

Re: slingbox functionality
So what, exactly, is the box you show here?
There is a set-up just like that at the end of my street, two cabinets, brand spankin' new.
Is that a Good Thing? |

Re: Question
Poor employees.
If they are going to call it Project Lightspeed, how come it has been on the drawing board for a dozen years?
We all know the project is "light" and the "speed" is amazingly slow!
Slingblade could do a better job building it. |

If there's money to be made, the 'grumpy's of the world will get the boot. Threats of lawsuits don't work against someone with a legion of lawyers and a desire to squash you.

| said by ditka_b :25MBPS is slow? Most people around here consider 1000Mbps slow already, get with the times.. we all should have fiber to the home and 1 Gbps connections. Will make DDOS attacks much better in strength. I See some reports already about FIOS connections being sought by hackers for DDOS purposes.
