Re: 2 HD streams
said by d_l  :Virtually everyone with U-Verse now has the bandwidth at 27 mbps to support two HD streams if you believe the various slides that AT&T has posted at investor presentations. This suggests that the absence of the second HD stream is a Microsoft IPTV programming problem and not a lack of bandwidth. doesn't Verizon FiOS use MS IPTV software too? How could this be a software limitation? 27mbps is barely enough to deliver 2 HD streams, 2 SD streams and 6/1 internet... |

| I don't think Verizon uses MS software. If you believe their slides: »Re: How much bandwidth is available to a VRAD?, then the implication is that AT&T is covering for a MS dual-HD stream software limitation right now. Admittedly this is reading between the lines, but often problems are presented this way -- very subtly. |

Verizon got tired of waiting for microsoft and developed a modified version of microsoft IPTV software.
I seriously doubt that microsoft is responsible for uverse problems. Many other carriers like British, Deutshe and Slovak telecom, Singtel, Swisscom and many other use the same technology including AT&T.

The only problems I've seen with microsoft software is with AT&T. Hmmm I wonder why? |

San Antonio, TX | So who else has deloyed iptv over vdsl and is supplying more than 1 HDTV stream with ms software?
Why is ATT FTTP locations still limited to 1 HD stream?
IT is possible that this is a MS problem, but i doubt we will ever actually know. |

| I assume the reason why FTTP locations are limited to 1 HD stream is that AT&T wants to make uverse offerings universal no matter what platform it's being provided over, to avoid confusion. I think it's silly and short sighted. What's the point of rolling out FTTP if you're going to push DSL quality service through it? |

I also am pretty sure that he would disagree with your smiley face emoticon since the FTTP service frankly sucks. |
