| reply to MikeStammer My guess is its not 1080i HDTV quality. But more likely something like 480p quality.
But I can't see how they are going to make a business off of non-realtime video. All of these services so far are based on downloading the content to a local device and playing it back after it downloads. Especially when I can pay for service with my cable company and get real-time 1080i HDTV video. Which is going to let far better than anything these services can offer.
Until they get fiber video into the homes, you won't be able to really see anything close to cable TV with IP TV. The bandwith is just not there right now for true real-time video. |
