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.
Matt said -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. |
