Re: [HD] Get Ready for "Ultra-HDTV"

SDV is the only solution cable can do for making UHDTV even possible. By not requiring all the QAM channels to be open all the time they might get the bandwidth needed.

No. SDV does not "provide bandwidth", it makes current usage more efficient up until saturation of the whole which is shrunk.

HEVC is one of many practical solutions. SDV at the home level is a white paper wet dream to grab quick capital; at the edge/node is where it is practical to shut down neighborhood head-ends in favor of large regional super head-ends to dramatically lower operating cost.

The pipeline between our middle-person supply companies (Comcast, Dish, Direct, Cox, TW, FiOS, etc) and the content providers (Disney, Universal, etc) is the first "bandwidth" hurdle. The wire coming into your home is not the stop gap yet. Uplink/downlink satellite distribution will first need solved years before home delivery. SDV is already employed in this space...
