Ian: more compression doesn't necessarily mean less quality. Compare uncompressed DVDs to MPEG-2; quality is similar but storage space is less for MPEG-2. This is a good thing: if MPEG-4 can compress better (i.e., use less bandwidth), you can fit more channels on the same infrastructure. That's how Dish will fit the extra VOOM channels; it won't require an additional satellite.]]>Aug 25th 2005 6:02PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2005/08/25/voom-hdtv-is-reborn/http://www.engadgethd.com/2005/08/25/voom-hdtv-is-reborn/
