In2TV will have Hi-Q video

By Kevin C. Tofel

No,
not "haiku" video; that would be tricky to have a show with only five lines of dialogue. It's "Hi-Q" video, but we don't know what that is either. This is the new  "classic" television service that AOL announced earlier this week.

Fellow HD dude and Engadget contributor, Dave Zatz, mentioned the mysterious video format on his site; seems that some of the press got too eager on the free content and neglected to mention the few technical details.

Dave finds that the video will be delivered through some P2P network,
which theoretically should help speed up your free downloads. Most of the new video download services coming out these days are P2P, so until we all have wireless gigabit-ethernet connections, it looks like P2P
continues to grow.

Any guesses on the haiku Hi-Q video res? If it's P2P, I'm thinking it's a higher res than 320 x 240, so my vote is for 640 x 480.
