It can free up bandwidth which could be used for wide band DOCSIS and higher internet speeds.
I can also be used for less compressed HD broadcasts. This is good news for Comcast because they compress their HD signals pretty bad, hence why I left them and went to DirecTV. The HD is much better and I now have more HD channels and programing. |

Re: Translation, more speed?
Exactly a few potential applications for VoD, HD and SD, pretty much anything that uses downstream spectrum, which was why I used 'could' not 'will' even though on this IPTV platform it'll be one or a few hugely bonded DOCSIS downstreams doing the business. |

I thought it was the reverse. Someone told me Directv compresses is like hell to a lower quailty
Anway, I'm interested to your response. I just moved to my place 7 months ago and went for comcast. I really do not like the service at all and am looking at the dish as an alternative |

| While DirecTv's picture is clean, I do believe that you may be correct with the compression. With a TV on S-Video, you can notice some alias/artifacting around many screen images (noticable on stuff like text images where there's high contrast images stuffed into a small area).
In general, its better than the analog/digital mix I had from TimeWarner and Comcast, much cheaper, and consistant picture on all channels. |
