You can get broadcast quality video through arround 8Mbit, it's called Freeview, no good for recompressing though. Similarly you can get a couple of HD channels down 100mbit and have plenty of room to spare. The BBC uses 34MBit links to transfer video arround the country. -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/linux_adm/list-faq.html
