Internet TV solution

Test InternetTV!

Ususally, all traditional Internet TV solutions use 'centralized' approach - they have one streaming 'point' and no QoS features. They also use low bit rate resolution for broadcasted video, and the service itself looks like 'some additional free service' rather than an attractive interactive service. This Internet TV can't be an alternative to 'big' TV at all, and it also doesn't deliver any additional interactive services, and - most important - people don't like to watch the TV with this quality!

Meanwhile, during last several years, technology itself and service provider's network did few significant sters forward, i.e.:

High-speed broadband Internet access growth rapidly.
Unlimited Internet access service plans become common - subscribers can download unlimited information for fixed monthly fee.
New coding/decoding technologies been developed and they got standards (for instance, MPEG-4 H.264 AVC) - they provide high-quality ('TV quality') video compression at even 1Mb/sec bandwidth.
High-speed core broadband Internet allows service providers to build distributed video solutions.
