the reason that IPTV can have "more HD channels" is how it streams the channels to you. Essentially, instead of streaming all of the channels to you and having you pick the one you want to watch, IPTV streams one channel, and if you want to change the channel you send you channel changing command back to the server, which then changes the channel for you.

This means that even if you are trying to use the DVR functionality of the IPTV that you can't watch one show while you record another and that changing channels will not be as fast as you'd like.

IPTV channels also require fiber optic to the home to get the necessary bandwidth for the show. That service is not cheap and not available in a lot of areas.

Cable could offer the same number of HD channels as IPTV if they started broadcasting just a single channel at a time to their digital cable boxes and switching it the same way IPTV does. In fact, cable companies would like to do it this way but there are currently regulations (having to do with cable card I believe) that prevent them from doing this.

Either way, it has serious implications about how many sets you can have watching channels and multi-tuner devices and the bandwidth required.

I think the word you were looking for was 'DeLorean'.

Now make like a tree and get outta here!

I just wanted to point out that the batteries really do have better battery life than traditional alkaline batteries.

There's an article about it in the NY Times.

I'm all fine for making fun of the X dash TREME marketing but you should probably do a little bit more research about what you're trashing first, ok?

should change "eludes to" to "alludes to" in the second paragraph.

judging by the logo on the can, you might want to get one that isn't quite so old.

wow, I'm really surprised to see them mixing websphere and ms sql, that's not that common. Usually if you're going to go with MS SQL you go with .NET through the whole thing.

Whatever, the car still does nothing for me.

oh ... here it is! I left it in my briefcase guys. Sorry about jumping to conclusions so fast. My bad.

Could you guys who have your own site stop adding it at the end of your comments. Your site is lame and I don't want to see it posted at the end of every comment.

K, thanks!

It actually had 4 options: HD-DVD, Bluray, DVD, and I don't care ... (Nintendo fans vote here).
