![]() OP, attending the CES does not make you the master of all technology...neither does hearing some mouth spout off about it from the CES. You know who is pushing all that crap you are hearing??? It is the content providers. Why? Because they are fiving vultures and want more money so the best thing to do is try and take away from somewhere else while they reap the benefits.
Streaming media is in its infancy right now and will not explode in 3 years like you are parroting. I have been hearing what you are spouting for 5 years (hint, I work in the video streaming industry). I would be pleased if things would take off like that but it won't happen. I should bump this thread in 6 months because of *your* prediction. To date, I have not seen a single stream of video that rivals Blu-Ray. Why? It has 0 to do with resolutions (1080p, 1080i, 720p....) and everything to do with bitrate. See, if you encode a piece of content using 1080p and cut the bitrate down to 10mbps (this is satellite HD for you) the picture is not going to be very impressive. Now, put other compression equipment in there to help save on more bandwidth and what do you end up with? See below why this is not possible right now or in 6 months. Go ask your new CES buddies about this. Quote:

![]() blue-ray will last longer than 3 years. The infrastructure in a huge part of the country can't handle streaming on demand 1080p anytime soon. That and people will always love to buy something physical with their purchase. Before you argue music/itunes, I suggest the iPod is the physical equivalent of a CD case. I agree that streaming content is the future though, for sure.

![]() until FIOS is everywhere, streaming media will never be what they claim. FIOS is way more than 3 years from being available for everyone.

You're delusional. There isnt enough backbone capacity available for even 25% of people to do this. Networks are shared. My 10+ years in telecom tells me there's no ****ing way there will be build-outs in the next 3 years to support the kind of bandwidth required for what you're talking about. You're also completely forgetting about the ridiculously high percentage of people that cant even get a high speed(by current standards) internet connection right now. Puff, puff, pass. |

![]() I'll believe the Blu-ray is doomed the day Time Warner Cable enables my DVR to get internet access. Otherwise, I'll never watch a movie on my computer.

![]() My opinion on this is despite the fact you saw some fancy **** at CES2009, it's vaporware until proven otherwise. That's the point of CES. And with the current economic tide, in a few months notice those ideas can be scrapped or the company backing it could go under, in a realistic scenario.
But all this talk about new technology replacing blurays isn't going to do anything for several years. I cite satellite and cable and their forms of transferring HD content down to the consumer. No one honestly has 1080p aside from it being available in a physical format like Bluray. Dish claims they do, but it's still a compressed form of 1080p available on very few channels. The bandwidth simply isn't there for HD yet, so what makes you think that companies that have been trying to improve their HD service to their customers for 4 years are going to be taken by storm by a new technology? For now and for quite some time, I can see Bluray staying on top based of bandwidth issues, regardless of how the content is delivered. Also, you state the nonsense about bandwidth caps. I do agree, but what makes you think that Comcast for instance is going to pull your bandwidth cap so you can purchase a streaming HD service from a third party instead of using their HD cable services (which suck ass)? You new to how business works? ![]() |

hell, 30% of the time youtube.com can't keep up. streaming won't dominate anything HD for at least 5-10 years. serious upgrades are needed. ontop of which HD will become even more HD down the road which will require more and more bandwidth. it's a dog chasing it's tail. |

That's all I have to say about that. |

![]() but i'll admit, the HD (on cable/direct tv) SPORTS programming does look pretty damn good but movies/tv shows obviously won't look as good/clean as a blu-ray/hd-dvd disc just because it's been compressed to hell to save a bunch of bandwidth. |
