Yes, HD is compressed (mpeg) video. It has to be. Uncompressed 24-bit RGB images are 5.9 mb PER FRAME or 177 mbps. An HD transport stream is 19 mbps if you pull it in over the air. Cable companies compress it further to fit more channels through the pipe, so you're actually getting somewhere around 7-10 mpbs via Comcast.
Look at AppleTV...their movies aren't even DVD quality. Movies on disc will be around for a long time. -- Pale Blue Ego ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Pale Blue Ego's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=110 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=43609 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
