The Netflix top bitrate for 1080p is 5800 kbps. So 5meg won't give you that. it will still give 1080p video, but I think that bitrate is 4300kbps.

To ensure the 5800kbps video stream, plus a little bit for audio and a bit of headroom, most people suggest 7meg. This is still within Tivo's 10 meg speed.

I seem to remember reading that the Tivo was capable of 20meg but had been capped at 10, and if necessary, the 20 meg speed could be activated. Is that not the case?
