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).

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. :-) David Smith MVN.net -- WISPA Wireless List: [email protected] Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://lists.wispa.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless Archives: http://lists.wispa.org/pipermail/wireless/ -- WISPA Wireless List: [email protected] Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://lists.wispa.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless Archives: http://lists.wispa.org/pipermail/wireless/
