Rules out HD???? Say what?

Last time I checked, I own several WMVHD DVD's that contain 1080i content in a ~6Mbps data rate. It rules out MPEG2 HD streams, yes, but not MPEG4 HD streams.

Yes, I'm aware of the fact that one stream of HD would reduce you to 3Mbps worth of Internet connectivity. Also last I checked, that was still the MAX speed of a residential Verizon DSL circuit. It's nothing to snivel at.

Well, those are pretty shitty quality movies...

If you like HD-Lite a'la DirecTV then you're right.

Otherwise no, it's not enough. Full 9Mbit is enough for one nice quality WMVHD stream but then you don't have internet at all.

No, it's just HD-Lite - real HD would reduce you to almost 0.

Also last I checked, that was still the MAX speed of a residential Verizon DSL circuit. It's nothing to snivel at.
Last time you misunderstood something - it's ADSL2+, pal, with 15-25Mb max.

Re: Rules out HD???? Say what?

Yes, Cavalier said you need a minimum of 9mb connection rate for this service. This isn't to say that people closer to the RT can connect at 25mb so they can have 10mb internet with a few tv streams going. If you have more than a 9mb connection rate, you will have faster internet while watching tv.
