Re: IPTV reason to upgrade?

said by sameshtdd:

Wouldn't these speeds have to be shared with your TV service also since FiOS wants to go to an all IPTV system?

And don't even get me started about how much you could tivo/dvr...

4 HDDVRS all recording 2 HD streams at the same time. That's 8 streams. 8x19Mbps=160Mbpsx64users=5.12Gbps

Seems like something they need to be prepared for.

I dont think a change to IPTV would make a difference. Theoretically, IPTV would take up less space since only one stream would be sent at a time. Just look at Uverse vs. basic cable. Instead of sending a standard broadcast signal, Uverse uses IPTV, which uses roughly 7mbps. Im not sure exactly how much space a broadcast stream takes up, but one could imagine if it were less than IPTV, Uverse would utilize it.
