HDTV Over IP

gravelpup writes " NASA Watch has this article about a NASA demo of streaming an HDTV feed over a 20Mbps network from D.C. to California. Suddenly, watching NASA TV at home over a dinky DSL connection doesn't seem so cool anymore." For some reason this just makes streaming high quality video over the net seem even further away to me.

Re:TV over Internet still a fair ways away

It's called an antenna. Back in the old days we used to use them to broadcast all sorts of signals.

To millions of people.

Without lag.

Is this the reason?

From all the news lately you would think that it was the Code Red I & II worm that were slowing down the Internet. But no, its those "rocket scientists" at NASA wanting to watch HDTV over IP sucking down all that precious bandwidth. Your tax dollars at work, letting geeks watch high definition pr0n from outer space. Jeeez!
