Yeah, but ...
Location Free, Slingbox, etc., do quite nicely on much much less BW. Is IPTV
really that much of a hog that it needs 1.25Mbps? How could it possibly
compete against products out there already that use only a tenth of this BW?
The items that use 1/10th the bandwidth are not made to be displayed on
a 42" HD monitor. As an example watch youtube videos on your system and
see if you would be willing to use it for everyday show viewing. There
are certain things that can be low resolution, most news programs for
instance. However, most people would prefer Desperate Housewives in
1080p HD especially if they shelled out the bucks for the TV that will
do it.
Honestly, what, other than content on demand (and I mean really on
demand not available ever 15 minutes for the next week), does IPTV offer
over regular broadcast TV?
