?  now you're attempting to challenge by "quoting" things I didn't say?

What, pray tell is the frame rate?  I note all sorts of statistics there,
but not the frame rate.  Is it greater than 12 fps?

And, just to point out again, my bit rate at home is 1.8 mb/seconds.  The
bit rate with the circuit I'm now using is 1.2 mb/sec.

Let me know when you can watch a -- say -- NFL game in HD at home with a
frame rate greater than 12 fps.

John Willkie, who knows all about playing games with frame rates to make
streaming work.

So John says that you can't stream HD with decent quality.

I beg to differ.

Take a look at the 720P version of these artbeats clips shot with the 
RED camera:

Or you can compare the 480P and the 1080P.

For the 720P version the bit rate is just less than 6 Mbps, well 
within the range for streaming.

This  content is compressed with h.264, and much of it is VERY 
demanding. I noticed a bit of contouring in some of the sky scenes, 
but those were the only artifacts I could see at full 720P resolution 
on my 15" Macbook display.

Craig
