If you read the document carefully, you´ll figure that they support MPEG2 HDTV
(1920x1080)
and MPEG4 SDTV (640x480/720x576), which was my point earlier. So they are little
less than
two cycles of Moore´s law away from MPEG4 HDTV. That would put it three years
away but if the market is there, we´ll probably see it earlier. SDTV
video-over-ip services
should take off first though or we´ll end up with peer2peer set top boxes
sharing premium
channel services over broadband networks.
