Re: How much of the 1 Gbps will be for TV?

How does that make cable look like crap?

Using QAMs, a cable plant can send over 6gigabits/sec of video to your house.

Technically, yeah, but...

To get it, you all but have to use their equipment, and that means shelling out big bucks for every single stream you want to receive.

If its an IP solution, there's no reason a single PC (or proprietary box) couldn't grab as many streams as it wants (think unlimited channel DVR).

If its a true fiber/IP solution, then the individual streams aren't modulated and require multiple tuners to demodulate back to the baseline digital video.

This is where the big advantage for IP-video comes in.
