Re: [WISPA] budget friendly set top boxes
You won't be able to use any traditional US channels over a wireless system. They won't license it. SD is about a meg or two and HD requires 5 - 10. At times, my house would then require 17 - 34 megs. - Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com -- From: "Josh Cheney" Sent: Thursday, October 29, 2009 10:16 AM To: "WISPA General List" Subject: Re: [WISPA] budget friendly set top boxes > Jerry Richardson wrote: >> TV over wireless is a non-starter.

I was recently speaking with a relative of mine who is now getting his TV delivered over DSL. He is an engineer, so he asked the tech for a bit more information on how it works. With this system, only the channels that are actively being watched are beamed over the DSL line, and when you change a channel, it sends a signal to the TV "server" to deliver a different stream. With his connection, he is limited to watching 8-10 different channels at a time, but I could see this working well on a robust wireless network with a channel or two.

TV over wireless is a non-starter. Even if you used MPEG4 which is really for video you still can only get 2-3 channels.
