Re: Proper Home video distrobution Good idea in theory, but expensive. Now, to hook 1 TV to digital cable (or IPTV), you need not 1 box, but 2 boxes - a set top and then a box at the entry point.
IPTV is great on paper and in theory, but when I can go to my local Best Buy and get a digital cable ready TV and free CABLECARD from my cableco, I just don't care about it that much. IPTV via fiber sounds great - IPTV over ADSL2 sounds suspect. I trust my ADSL for gaming and surfing, but for TV, nothing beats my good old fashioned analog cable (or satellite for some). I don't want to set up 3 TVs for IPTV ADSL and on TV 3 get a "Sorry, TV1 and TV2 are both on and you are out of bandwidth - please try watching again later". |
