1080p 24fps HD VOD ever?

I ask because as I contemplate venturing into the BR disc world with a purchase, I would rather have a one-box solution, e.g. D* feeding me 24fps HD movies on demand.litzdog911 said:"ever" is a very long time.

How fast is your download speed
Anything short of ultra fast you won't be streaming 1080p I can't even stream 480i.:lol:feschiver said:How fast is your download speed
All I can get out here is 1.5mb down,256kb up. I do think directv if they have enough space on their sats should offer 1080p ppv movies.
6mb/secfeschiver said:How fast is your download speed
I watch about 2 movies per week and would not expect to watch them instantly, just would like to have access to them from D*. I thought I read somewhere that the bandwidth requirements to send 1080p 24 frames/sec is not that much greater than 1080i 60fields/sec.
For about the second time, your statement is only true in regards to a single frame. 1080i60 frames in succession are more "data" than 1080p24 but its not the native format used in the original movie. 3:2 conversion introduces artifacts that are not there in a 1080p24 transmission.cartrivision said:

BTW, why are you whining about counting?
Not to mention a TV that would handle that resolution. At least not yet.LarryFlowers said:
Speaking of TVs, I was talking to Joe Kane of WideScreen Review (and other cool video toys) at CES in 2007. The CEA who runs the show wanted to have a dedicated internal channel on the show floor that was all 1080p content to help manufacturers showcase 1080p.
It had to be abandoned because only a third of the 1080p marketed TVs at that time really could handle all the 1080p modes, most often failing the 1080p24 mode--most important for movies.

I've got DIRECTV. I've got LOTS of 1080i HD to watch
Yes, I'm soon to be in the market for a new one. Seems that many, even when fed a proper 24fps signal, still do 3/2 pulldown, then just multiply the result by 2!?! Just seems crazy. And it can be really difficult getting a reliable answer from the Mfg to know for sure how a particular set handles it. :nono2:Tom Robertson said:Speaking of TVs ... only a third of the 1080p marketed TVs at that time really could handle all the 1080p modes, most often failing the 1080p24 mode--most important for movies.
My 3 year old TV can handle 24 fps input and will display at 3x the rate (albeit it downscales to 768p but it does display 24 fps native frames in their proper sequence). I realize not all TVs can do this but it would seem that more will as time goes on.Tom Robertson said:Speaking of TVs, I was talking to Joe Kane of WideScreen Review (and other cool video toys) at CES in 2007.
