Re: Bandwidth Caps

Yeah, if you like pixelated garbage.. I doubt it will offer 1080i content...

They don't even bother to mention the quality in the news release which means that it will be junk and overpriced.

Re: Bandwidth Caps

I read standard definition will be the initial offering with select high definition programs at a higher price. Keep in mind 1080i is not much different in resolution from 720p. Actually they are almost identical.

People don't understand that though... all they see is the HD part and think it's all the same. It's not!
After seeing HD @ 1080p, 720p or 1080i is depressing.

So far? Just trailers... and some NASA Shuttle launch video a friend sent me.

See pic? That's 720p(which is more or less the same as 1080i) on this laptop's screen.
To me, this is depressing - YMMV.

Re: Bandwidth Caps

My TV has a native resolution of 1280x720, so anything higher than 720p is a waste. Now, if my TV had a native resolution of 1920x1080, 720p wouldn't look as great as 1080p.

Man dadkins, you act like everything has to conform to you! Just leave us minions be...
