[mythtv-users] IP TV support on the agenda?

[Joe Votour]

I saw an article late last week about Time Warner
offering IPTV to their customers in San Diego.  It was
just a duplicate of their regular cable offerings. 
The big DSL providers (i.e. SBC here in the U.S.) will
likely be the first ones to offer it, since they don't
have any analog cable bandwidth to speak of.  (Could
be that Time Warner is trying to beat SBC to the
punch.)

IPTV support as a whole is a good thing for the
industry, but it will definitely have some growing
pains.  A lot of the existing infrastructure isn't
designed for the bandwidth and routing that it will
require.

Nonetheless, it will be nice when it comes in.
