Re: Hmmm...
said by dadkins  :Got a new HDTV? Got HD programming for that new HDTV? Hey! Lets display some pixelated, blocky, out of focus - stretched Youtube video on that baby! Tell ya what, go to YT right now, pick a video, hit the full screen button. Looks great, huh? Do the same to the other sources - full screen. AWESOME!  Sorry, but this is just not sound too appealing. I think you are missing the news about YouTube doing deals to start supplying better quality YouTube videos. By the time Verizon rolls this out (about a year), YouTube may have much more high quality offerings from Hollywood and not just uploaded crap from people's cell phone cameras.

| my point of view is that is that content is accessible in my living or bedroom when i want to watch it without another box and another subscription.
There is so much good/entertaining content out there which my linear broadcast nor vod can pick up. Its endless entertainment when i need it and what i want.
Who knows Verizon will cut a deal with random internet video providers and we get it all in one box. |

If anything, newly uploaded videos if your connection is detected to be fast enough will be played in higher quality. It does for me on my 768k/128k Verizon DSL line without stopping or anything, and the resolution is a lot better and there's Stereo sound. If that doesn't work, just update flash and try the &fmt=18 trick. YouTube did indeed say that they are improving quality, and since their servers are running very fast now (can max a 3Mbps connection for what I know), they could surely handle a bit more load by turning up the quality even more.
EDIT: By the way, YouTube/Google started turning up the video quality starting shortly after the 2008 year started, so any video from January 2008 up to now should have high quality options if the user uploaded a video file with a decent video bitrate. |

On the FIOS website, they claim that, with the Home Media DVR and Home Media Manager software on your PC, you can watch a movie from the internet on any FIOS-connected TV in the home (I assume that would include content from HULU, etc).
Too bad they seem to have jumped the gun on that, as I have the Home Media DVR and Media Manager software on my PC, and I can't stream any video or audio content to any TV in my home. Mark F |
