One of my demos at a prior employer was to run 10-15 ~ 1-1.5Mbit
windows media streams as datacasts through a single ATSC mux/mod to PC
receivers. Of course being PC-based one could get away with
non-standard resolutions in the media players i.e. '480p' @ 640x360.
That was.. 1999(?).. and no-one seemed to 'get it', even when running
side by side with a 1 HD / 1 SD MPEG2 multiplex. Course, selling it
wasn't my problem, I am only interested in the technical aspects - but
the reactions (from broadcasters and non-technical colleagues) were
amusing, nevertheless.
