I just don't see how they can do it at 25mbps. Even if MPEG4 cuts the bandwidth in half, that's still 9mbps because 1080i ATSC is speced at 18mbps.
Drop in 2 streams and that's 18mbps, add in 6mbps for elite and that's 24mbps. Now where is the bandwidth for the two SDTV channels?
BTW my definition of `doing it` isn't cutting corners. If multiple stream requires reallocation of the internet bandwidth or overcompressing of 1280x1080 HD-Lite then count me out... Oh wait, I'm already out! I close on my new house tomorrow and DirecTV is coming on Monday. I have FTTP but I'll only use it for internet acess and a $8/mo basic line that I don't really even want. VOIP is alot cheaper.... |

They are probably going to raise the sync rate later this year. The ATT CFO recently said they were going to increase the bandwidth being deliverlied 60-70% this year. That would put the sync speed at 40 and not 25. |

If you're concerned about HD-Lite then why are you going with DirecTV? |
