Re: Why not go back to DSL
The only thing I can see coming out of this deployment is DBS VOD but like TiVo, they can offer VoD to those who has a box with connectivity. If the DBS box has a RJ45 port they could run a speed test to their server to see if it supports streaming and if it doesn't pull a XBX360 or Vongo and xfer the VOD program before use.
This is what I was hoping E* would do with their MPEG4 DVR since it's RJ45 equipped but after the 2/14 IPTV deployment rumor proved false I am just waiting for something to come around.
If not for my E* contract I would go back to cable just for VOD as there aren't yet enough titles on the XBX360. And after digital simulcasting and other improvements the TWC picture even for the 'lower 100' looks as good or better than DBS, especially on their HD channels. |
