Read about it HERE!

And if you don't mind, I'll just post this puppy and get out of the way.

Fascinating. This has been a hot topic of discussion here on the boards all day and now T.C. puts it into his column. So the problems with multicasting have hit the mainstream press. I wonder what affect that will have. May we live in interesting times.

I gave at the office in the thread "AFC Playoffs - Official Discussion" about this one.

Woohoo, we're almost at the "handful" level in MKE.

Multicasting is certain to remain a feature of digital TV, which includes high-def programming. Hall says the current generation of equipment probably will be long gone by the time there's actually more than a handful of high-definition TV viewers. The bugs should be worked out by then.

Somebody missed the latest milestone.

I see they didn't choose to publish that screen shot of mine to demonstrate just how useful this "feature" is. Obviously, they admit the other stations are unwatchable, yet insist on giving up  to 7 and then 5Mb bandwidth for them?? Why?? If 2.5MB  can improve the picture, obviosly another 5MB would have solved the issue altogether to 99.5% satisfaction.

Once again we get a dig at TW, but nothing in the way a future reality of CBSHD on TW.  TWC's "Snap, Crackle, and Pop" on local HDTV is another issue he still hasn't addressed in the column which could really annoy those that spend $70 a month only to find that the Superbowl and any future CBS HDTV product may not actually be watchable for them.

Did mention I don't like multicasting?
:cool:

Congrats on the 300 mark and keep up the good work.

Oh, sweet, sweet justification...  and on another note, I always thought my grandfather had the biggest hands.

This article really cheeses me... :bang:

Spend 1 paragraph talking about how the picture looks 99% of the time and then spend another 6 paragraphs talking about the dropouts experienced 1% of the time...

I had friends over all weekend and not one of them made a single comment when there was a dropout. IT would last for about 1/100th of a second and then would move on.

I actually am impressed with Tim for taking CBS58 to task on multi-casting, but he could have spent a tad more time on exactly how amazing the picture really is...
