"An uncompressed HDTV signal is worth 1.5 Gb/s. Compressed? Somebody fill in the blank: _________M/bs."

Frank- FWIW I read, over the weekend, 50 Mb/s is what it takes to do a single HDTV channel using MPEG-2. If accurate, one HDTV channel would take up the entire bandwidth of a telcos VDSL stream. What am I missing here?

How is the VDSL pipe ever going to scale up to 200 channels like it's competitors offer today? Does the telco's VDSL TV model require VOD? ie, one channel at a time that is unique to the customer.

Or another way to look at it(again from just what I read), 1 HDTV channel is like 5 digital TV(DTV) channels. And 1 analog channel equates to 4 or 5 DTV channels. Kind of interesting rules of thumb. But again, I have no idea if they're accurate. I'm just quoting something I read somewhere and doing my best to remember the rules of thumb. -MikeM(From Florida)
