What kind of resolution and bitrate are you going to get from streaming ESPN and Hulu Plus? Unless they are streaming a decent bitrate, it will look bad on your 50" TV. I think 1600 kbps is the highest bitrate that ESPN3 is streaming, and that doesn't look good on a big TV (at least it doesn't where I've seen it). Will you get 5.1 sound?
Do you get the 5.1 sound when streaming Netflix?
Yeah, where are the old days when things were not complicated?
Netflix is streaming SD or sometimes blu ray HD quality (for $2 more a month). Seems like COX cable in Omaha does 720dpi unless you have their HD 1080 cable box. Seems like internet signal for rental movies vary from 240 to 480 to 720.
Vudu gives you a choice of renting movies in SD (cheaper) or two higher crystal clear definitions (add a buck).
Clone Zone sometimes look like less than 240dpi.
For my COX cable signal into my PC or directly to the TV set, the only unscrambled QAM signals are local channels and USA Network. COX basic cable does not show Iowa Public Netwroks as an agreement with NETV. However, it does on the HD digital box and it goes directly into the PC, so I capture the IETV signal.
Then I have a Homerun hooked up to TIVO shows to the computer whiuch can be run downstarirs through XBOX on the projector.
I have an HD slingbox to shoot my signal from my house to anywhere in the world.
Then I have an analog to digital conversion box for a TV setup that catches the local channels.
There is always something to adjust to. Things were so simple before the AL Gore internet.
