HDC - Re: "What needs to be developed for the image "blockiness" to be eliminated or greatly reduced?"

I'm not exactly sure what you mean by "BLOCKINESS" , but I'll assume it is image sharpness AND "JERKINESS", with lost or skipped frames.

I can only assume that BANDWIDTH was and still is the limiting issue - and that the transmitted image/video stream you were viewing was compressed greatly for transmitting over standard dial-up modem connections as well as cable-modems.

In short, bandwidth was and will be an issue, coupled with routing delays (Hops) along the way from the image source to your home PC.
Each HOP adds a delay - and possible intermittent interruption in the transmission.

If your quest is Video Quality on a PC via Internet access, you may have to have your own T1 or T3 connection installed - and I'll bet that even that might not satisfy you.
