[opendtv] Re: Frames Per Second of 720P

But, what if M/H uses time-slicing techniques like DVB-H and MediaFlo?

What if MediaFlo has to adopt M/H to make a true go of it?

There was an awful lot of discussion in the report of network effects ...

Yes, I did read that.  However that is based on one M/H system in the 
marketplace, which is clearly not possible unless Qualcomm folds it's 
MediaFLO tent.

With AT&T and Verizion already on the Qualcomm MediaFLO bandwagon, who is 
left?  T-Mobile and Chad over at Alltel?

You mean like this:

tml

> both of which require the M/H distribution method.

DVB-H is only necessary for battery life improvements.  One can use DVB-H 
time slicing without using reduced resolution MPEG-4 bitstreams aimed 
exclusively at handheld devices, and have no effect on legacy DVB-T 
receivers.

There are also already several 7" screen combo portable DVD/DVB-T players 
available in Europe, and they also have a 2-4 hour battery life, unless 
tethered to the rear seat power accessory outlet.
