Get Your Broadcast TV Anywhere

Posted by michael on from the your-ideas-intrigue-me dept.

circletimessquare writes "Ken Schaffer, who made his name inventing a wireless microphone and a satellite telephone service, has a new offering called TV2Me. It's basically MPEG-4, improved upon, that allows for what he calls 'best of class' streaming video over a normal broadband connection. Right now, his only clients are rich sports fanatics, but he eventually wants to make his technology as ubiquitous and as essential as TiVo is to some."

    That last one would mean I'd have to avert my eyes from Slashdot, however briefly. I can't see that happening anytime soon.

    mpeg2 = 20mbps
    (mpeg2)/2 = (20mbps)/2
    mpeg = 10mbps

    mpeg4 = 4*10mbps
    mpeg4 = 40 mbps

    Correct me if I'm wrong... but I think the maths are right.

    (it's a joke kids, everybody chuckle a little... now go back to work.)
