RE: [WISPA] Anyone Seen AppleTV yet ?

I've got a great case study I'm gonna write up and PDF soon.

My brother-in-law was a yankee fan.  They decided to church plant in Prague
- yep, czech...

He bought an extra receiver for my dad's directv, plugged it into a
slingbox, plugged it into dad's wireless connection (trango 900 - 22 miles
from my tower, then 12 from there to my noc) and watches yankee games on the
Yes network from prague through my network :)

works awesome - because of the time difference, I sometimes pull up DirecTV
on my laptop during the day through the sling player.   

Uses about 120k right now on a constant stream to get good quality tv.  If I
let it go unlimited it'll eat up to 768k

I haven't been following compression formats all that closely but I've been
amazed what things like SlingBox can do with only a couple hundred
kiloBITS/second (not even kilobytes/sec).  I think it's microsoft asf (is
that mpeg4?) and I've seen good quality sent UPSTREAM from customer cpe
(within the typically lower upstream cap).

  Not much more than what your customers are already using. Basically, it
  lets you watch purchased content from iTunes on your television. iTunes
  has sold TV shows for quite a while now.

  If it tried to stream content, there might be an issue, but AFAIK it
  doesn't do that.

  Heck, aside from the iTunes "hook," a soft-modded Xbox makes a much
  better media center, and you can probably find one at your local pawn
  shop for fifty bucks. :-)
