I've checked the numbers and 150Mbps is not right.
Say a 70-minute episode of Band of Brothers. 70 minutes x 60 seconds = 4200 seconds. For that episode to utilize a 150Mbps bandwidth, it will total up to 630GB full of HDD space. A 630GB for a 70-minute episode is indeed possible BUT that amount of data is achieved when you're using UNCOMPRESSED video.
If you take a look at the image, you'll see that the video is compressed with H264. Not only that, it is INTERLACED video. So "150,000" is not 150 Mbps. Maybe it's just 15 Mbps.
DVD bandwidth are just that. You can't compare that to HD's H264.
See above.

Hey fuad, at first I also feel that 150,000 isnt 150Mbps, but if you browse through that site, they have more sample screencaps of different channels. Those normal SD channels are 4,xxx.
As for the DVD bandwidth feedback, I think you got confused with what I'm trying to say. What I want to mention is the channel Celestial movies, the broadcast stats were around 10Mbps, which is already the maximum specs of a DVD bandwidth. I did not compare anything on this channel with HD's bandwidth.
