HDTV Over IP

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the babysteps-towards-broadband-media dept.

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.

    do people still watch nasa broadcasts anymore anyway? not that i don't love the american public space program, but i was just curious whether this was the best example of viewing television-style programming online considering nobody seems to watch it on their boob-tube.
