I'm just tired of having a LCD monitor with 1920x1200 and having everything stretched to fit the screen.]]>Nov 29th 2007 6:04PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/11/29/will-hdtv-elevate-the-standard-for-pc-content/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/11/29/will-hdtv-elevate-the-standard-for-pc-content/Nov 29th 2007 6:36PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/11/29/will-hdtv-elevate-the-standard-for-pc-content/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/11/29/will-hdtv-elevate-the-standard-for-pc-content/
Anyways, I use Newsgroups for my HD content on my PC, and it works quite nicely. The problem there for me is HDD space as each HD episode of Heroes (for example) comes to well over a gigabyte (720p). With newsgroups, I average over 1 MB/s, so it takes about 10 minutes to download an average 720p TV show. As speeds increase to 20mbps (Fi-os), this download time would be cut by 2/3 so as to take only 3 minutes to download a 720p version of the average half-our TV show. Did I mention no DRM? ]]>Nov 29th 2007 7:46PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/11/29/will-hdtv-elevate-the-standard-for-pc-content/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/11/29/will-hdtv-elevate-the-standard-for-pc-content/
In fact, they better provide this service if they'd rather people go to their website for to watch a missed episode in HD with a few 30 second ads, than bittorrent the episode ad-free. People will get the content they want, if the stations want to make money, they have to supply what people want, more conviently, on demand, with a couple minutes of ads. Better than waiting a couple hours for the episode to bittorrent its way over.]]>Nov 30th 2007 1:10PM
