Re: Assumptions.... said by djrobx:Karl, why are you assuming that this is even going to happen? The U-verse set tops are not very powerful. They simply don't have the hardware needed to recompress the stream to something internet streamworthy on the fly. They don't need to. The stream is already MPEG-4 so all they need to do is lower the bitrate. |

Hilliard, OH | Matt,
SLING can vary bitrates on the fly but what the OP is trying to state here is that the Uverse boxes can not. They would require dedication compression/encoding hardware (like sling has). You can't just take an Mpeg4 stream and "lower the bitrate" without transcoding/recompression. |
