Comment H.265 and DSL (Score 3, Informative) 261

Although it's going to take a couple of years, you can expect H.265 to help DSL big time. I've read and watched several industry talks on H.265 and by far the two biggest things that H.265 will help is mobile/low bandwidth content delivery (DSL users were specifically mentioned) and of course video conferencing.

Figure a DSL user has a downstream capacity of 1 to 1.5Mb/s of downstream capacity. H.265 will make decent 720p over those throughput capacities a reality.

I have to agree with this.

I have a Roku, and that in combination with a Plex media server even negates using Hulu plus in many circumstances. In fact, it's BETTER as the PLEX plugins for the major networks (it's a little bit of a chore to find some of them) stream them in HD without any commercials at all.

In my case (and many I'd guess) is that I live 40 miles from the major affiliates stations, so getting OTA signal is going to require a big honking antenna with a pre-amp.
