Since I've used it... (Score 1)

I work for a division of computing at Dartmouth, and having used the new cable system over the network, I have to say that I was impressed. It's not the fastest thing in the world, but it seemed like a lot of that was coming from the fact that the interface is just a java app launched from your browser (and I was testing it on an old quirky tablet). It still worked though. Quality was reasonable, and CNN headline news still looked like CNN. So it actually works-I don't think they would be implementing it if it didn't. Although, being an educational institution, you never know... The only issue is going to be that they want to open the system up for students to broadcast their own stations. The estimate around my office is that it will be about 3.5 hours after it's up before the first student run porn station pops up.
