    Given Comcast Cable's horrendous compression rates (even in HD), will the new NBC peacock symbol just be six, large, square pixels in an upside-down V shape?

    @I-Love-Gizhacker: 30 Rock tells the story of a fictional variety show on NBC, TGS.
    There are many references and plugs of GE products. Alec Baldwin's character strives to be the head of GE- now he'll have to strive to be the head of Comcast i guess.

    for more information, check your local library! dun dun duh!

    Somebody clue me in, is this good or bad?

    I've only heard through other people that Comcast is evil, and I've never seen 30 Rock (which is what the commenters below seem to be worrying about) so how is Comcast controlling NBC going to change anything?

    Anyone know how large an average Netflix movie is?

    @Gann: The highest Netflix HD bitrate is 4 Mb/s max (it's variable bitrate so most of the time it'll be under this). For a 2 hour movie, that means you use up about 28 gigabits. Divide that by 8, and you're using up about 3.5 gigabytes of bandwidth on a 2 hour long, HD movie. Now most stuff on Netflix isn't HD, so the bitrates are lower of course.

    @Algerad: Looks like bandwidth peaks at around 3.4 Mg/s, or around 1.8 for your average movie. It's my experience though that bandwidth never stays at its peak through an entire movie.

    Where is the fiber and the bandwidth? Where is the video that was streaming? They have passed like dropped packets over copper, like signal over cell networks. The days have gone done for the broadband behind the data caps into brownouts.

    ....How did it come to this?

    Am I going to be able to access this if, hypothetically speaking, I only have comcast high speed broadband internet (16Mbs) and I hypothetically used a splitter on the coax cable and plugged it into the back of a cable ready TV and I hypothetically have 75 free channels? #tveverywhere

    I am a sorely disappointed Fios customer. They came out with an 'app' for their DVR last year only for Verizon phones -- understandably. However what would it hurt to my an iPhone app too? It's almost 2010 -- get with the program! #tveverywhere

    @BergenCountyJC: Because it's Verizon and they don't want your AT&T iPhone be compatible with their stuff - they want their stuff to be compatible so they can cross sell, not drive you to AT&T. #tveverywhere

    @geolemon: True, however I'm already with AT&T - as a Fios customer I would be willing to look at other TV providers that offer what I'm looking for. So if Verizon wants to keep me as a TV/Internet customer -- just because I don't have wireless service with them -- they should look at it that way. 2/3 I think is deserving of an iPhone app. #tveverywhere

    What does "free with a subscription" mean? Doesnt that mean it's NOT free? I think you mean "unlimited usage with a subscription"...
