If it'd been me, I'd have used the DivX codec instead of WMP9, but that's just me. Wonder what kind of quality this thing's got?

 Yup. It's the best compression format. Plus it is standardized. And it has DRM, which is needed for this type of thing (otherwise companies won't buy into it).

Does anyone know the bitrate on this thing? It seems like a very good alternative to a cable company, at least once they get good programming. Right now there's only a few good 'channels'.

It looks like 700-1500k. I think backspace.tv maxed out at 700k when it was free.
