16-18 mb/sec HDTV is a fact of life with AVC? Well, sure if you want to waste bits. Perhaps that's common with government contractors, but not in the real world, where the government won't bail you out of dumb decisions (except, apparently, wall street). More like 10 Mb/sec AVC hdtv is a fact of life, or better.

Obviously, if you'd read the response, that was a worst-case example. And other possibilities mentioned in my reply. And 16-18 Mb/s HDTV is still a fact of life with AVC. The important thing is that existing fiber to home or existing hybrid fiber and coax architectures CAN support a viable TV to homes service, now or in the easily foreseeable future.
