Re: Ellacoya I am able to order video on demand from the shaw on demand website that goes to my tv, as well I can order ppv off my remote from shaw as well... its great not having to rent anymore  |

| So can I, shaw does not need a CMTS at every building to enable SOD. It can simply go over different analog frequences that are available to them (not occupied already). |

3 edits | the service is not popular enough and list of available movies is limited.
ultimately you probably want to order anyone of 10,000-20,000 titles kept by Blockbuster and 30% of the customers watch VoD simultaneously and of course you want your movie real time wihtout waiting 15 minutes for it to start on this channel or other. this is more or less service you expect. and yes, HDTV only.
throughput of the coax if all signal is digitized (no analogue channels at all) is about 3GB. Bandwith required for single movie in HDTV quality is about 10M. We get 300 different high quality channels behind single hub. let's say 1 thousand. single hub typically serves today between 5,000 (small) to 20,000 (large) subscribers. average is somewhere in 8-10K area |
