Of course, lots has changed, so that's probably not a fair comparison.As an aside... thanks to BBC for streaming this, I couldn't find another source that wasn't overloaded/jerky/ugly :(
The Beeb's HD multicast feed is about 23Mbit/s to the host, and we received it at quite decent (subjective) quality here on a JANET-connected university site. The feed runs continuously (as far as any 'as-is' test stream does :) and this morning is pretty flawless. The interesting aspect of the HD stream was seeing how various systems coped with the CPU load. It was good to have some HD content available that encouraged people to install vlc, find out a little about multicast, and system issues in receiving it. Thanks again Beeb :) -- Tim
