Does anyone know whether the total bandwidth delivered by Telewest is in someway limited and if there is a trade off between cable TV and Internet?
I have the "10Meg" service on the Internet side and TVDrive on the TV Side. Now the 10 Meg has a theoretical d/l speed of (I think) 1280kb/s while I read somewhere else (
http://forum.digitalspy.co.uk/board/...d.php?t=221219) that BBC1 and Sky1 have bitrates of 4.5Mbit/s (563kb/s) and 2.9Mbit/s (363 kb/s) respectively.
Assume the TV is broadcasting 1 Sky channel and the TV Drive is recording two BBC Channels the combined bits going into the TV side is 1,489 kb/s while the internet wants 1280kb/s giving a theoretical pipe into the house of 2,769kb/s. So how do these figures trade off between each other I wonder - does having the internet on and d/l "steal" bandwidth from the TV, or vice versa, or are they entirely separate?
Anyone any ideas? Or am I talking ******** here?
