Given their problems with their own in-house DVR and the new 2Q delay (That is a delay 2Q long, not until the 2Q) for the HD DVR, it would not suprise me in the least.

I it is true, I think D* can tinker with the interface to make it more D* like , but use the TiVo engine.

Yes, I know..This is where I get my bit rate info...It was at 16.5 for those events that were used to calcualte it..It was alot lower for some other events both at ESPNHD and ESPN2HD.. 16.5 is not the constant bit rate, as shown on those charts..

And even if 16.5 was the constant bit rate its still HDLite....

Not to sound like a jerk, but do you have a point you are trying to make?...Just curious really. Im really confused as to what you are getting at here

 

[colofan]

What I wonder about those numbers is on the movie channels since the orginal is film at 24fps how much that 3:2 conversion process affects the bitrate as well.
