Very cool. Earl, what is your (I'm assuming you took the pics) download speed and what is the amount of time your shows are taking to download (just to get a feel for the speed)?

You dont have to have any SERVER on your pc to use vod, just internet connected. Tversity allows you to share your music and photos.

I am on Comcast Broadband, so anywhere from 6-12 depending on burst speeds.
Most of the content was comming down pretty quickly....
I didn't clock it though.

That's what I'm wondering too. How soon can you start watching something? And, does it download fast enough that you can say watch the first 10-15 mins and have enough downloaded that you can FF past the first commercials? Assuming it still has commercials.

On most of the material I was doing the review with..
With in a minute or so, you could start playback.
The one HD I tried, did take longer...

WOW this sounds so cool!! Nice job. 
Earl, having all of this done over the internet, will this eventually eliminate the need to have a phone land line, will the box be able to "phone home" over the internet? I know E* is getting ready to this soon with their receivers.
Thanks! |

Not bad. Curious how long HD will be though - 5 minutes, 10 minutes, an hour? Hopefully it's not that bad.

Using Hughesnet Satellite Internet, file size is going to be a problem with FAP.
Guess will have to use the FAP free time at 12-3 AM Pacific Time.
