The future of TV

What about reliability?: The number of times I haven't been able to watch something because the station wasn't transmitting properly can be counted on one hand.

On teh intarwebs, however, I can't get anything over P2P without the speed inexplicably dropping to zero several times during download. Even assuming my broadband can get the data fast enough (1 second of video per second of transfer), what happens when the website burps? Or experiences lag? 404 error right when Trump is about to announce who's fired?

And of course, it will have to be some method of P2P, because internet explorer *still* can't resume downloads, to the best of my knowledge. When you're getting episode-sized videos (350mb), that seems rather important.; Posted by: voice_of_all_reason Posted on: 10/31/05 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
