Proud Staff Member1080/p PPV Channel 125
ADVERTS 1
DirecTV now has 1080p PPV broadcasting on channel 125, instead of just over the On Demand option.
This is a first, glad to see they are still developing 1080p past just the download option! $5.99 movie price still.

Proud Staff MemberPffffft. Expensive, 24-hour-option, etc etc etc. Not to mention a good many HDTV's can't do 1080p24.
Give me ESPNU-HD, please, instead of this useless @#$%@#^#$^$#^

I thought this had been available for a while now. Not just on demand, but over a select few PPV channels. I may be mistaken

HUGE waste of bandwidth. Give us the 5 dozen national HD channels we still don't got, then work on 1080p linear. Originally Posted by Jason Crandall Last edited by TomCat4680; 10-13-2009 at 07:42 PM.

Proud Staff MemberI doubt we'll see more than one channel guys, it's probably not that significant of a bandwith need past typical PPV. I would even bet it gets turned off on Sunday for NFL bandwith.
I think it's a good thing. Still have HD users without DVRs, and they are developing the technology - someday we can hope everything we watch will be 1080p.

Anyone know what the bandwidth hit is for 1080p vs. 1080i?
Thought about buying and recording both this weekend, then watching them to see if you can tell the difference. Also, if I can slurp it over MRV (CE rocks), I can measure bandwidth.
Thoughts?
