Re: Broadband set to revolutionise TV

Excellent idea, and the technology is there. The main problem I can see is that with HDTV broadcasts, we could probably only watch one or two programmes a month before the NTL broadband caps were reached. What we really need is for NTL/TW to join in too. I know we have got, or will be getting VoD, but this still will not help with HDTV.

Re: Broadband set to revolutionise TV

There could be one big flaw in that article,
Quote:
According to Benoit Joly from broadband telecoms firm Thales, 30% of Europe cannot get satellite TV or digital TV. They could get IPTV though.
If those 30% can't get satellite or digital, how are they going to get enough bandwidth to be able to watch TV via IP?
