Don’t get me wrong, I definately understand there’s a market for something like that but with the direction the internet is expanding (more raw speed at a cost of higher latency) I just can’t see anything like that having the success that it would have 6 years ago. I mean you just can’t stream 1080p content over the internet right now. Uncompressed 720p is 158MB/sec and 1080p is 356MB/sec. Sure with good compression you can knock that down considerably but even with the best compression you’d need at least a 24Mbit/sec connection to maintain a steady 1920×1080, 24bit color, 60fps video feed. That doesn’t include the audio stream, connection overhead, or others using your interpipes. It’s possible, but expensive. Over a period of 2-3 years the added ISP cost might have bought you that console ![]()
