Scheduled TV belongs on satellite. Satellite is the worst use for on demand, time shifting, DVR, whatever term you want to use for viewing content that the station isn't sending out at that exact moment.

It's the best use of resources.

Highest quality looks like DVD quality and is quite enjoyable. Second to best is alright. The second to worst isn't that great either but good enough to watch full screen and not get to bad youtube feeling. / Eje -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Michael Baird Sent: Sunday, November 23, 2008 4:08 PM To: WISPA General List Subject: Re: [WISPA] NetFlix Streaming Bandwidth Information Chuck it won't work, here are some more specifics, on the codecs utilized and bandwidth requirements. The bottom two streams 500/1000k are pretty low quality. We are a facilities based CLEC and have done a bit of testing with the Roku's, for product bundles. http://blog.netflix.com/2008/11/encoding-for-streaming.html Regards Michael Baird Did I interpret your data correctly to mean that if you had a sustained 256Kbps it would work? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dennis Burgess" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "WISPA General List" <wireless@wispa.org> Sent: Sunday, November 23, 2008 2:42 PM Subject: [WISPA] NetFlix Streaming Bandwidth Information In case you did not know, recently NetFlix and Microsoft teamed up to provide video on-demand services to all of the XBox 360 users. Not only can you start one of 12,000 videos in a matter of seconds on your computer, but you can also do this right on your Xbox 360, bringing it mainstream for many who have never used it. Not to mention the super low cost of basically $9 bucks a month! I have been using it for a few weeks and since it came out on the XBox 360 last Wednesday, I have streamed GIGs. Soon as you hear, gigs, you may be interested to know what is required to maintain a high-end video stream. So, I put together some numbers for everyone, in case you are interested in how much bandwidth this service uses! A You can see my data at http://www.linktechs.net/netflix.asp.
