Requires only about 0.5-1mbps. I few years ago this would have meant that I need to connect to a fixed broadband connection. But nowadays public hotspots, hotspots in hotels, and even mobile networks are achieving this bandwidth nicely. Just wait until 3G is ubiquitous which will happen very soon and you will be able to watch TV literally anywhere. This is already the case in many locations. I was in Munich the other day, and my wireless connection on my laptop said it has 1.3 mbps - that's plenty. Paris will follow shortly, I am sure. In any case, all this discussion will completely go away within a few years only... Hey, Zattoo works really well. Requires only about 0.5-1mbps.

And I am really willing to pay for good quality video. Specially video for the iPhone. That's just one great device to always have some TV shows on in case you have to wait somewhere for a few minutes. My options now: illegal downloads or ripping de DVDs myself.

I stay in hotels weekly and have not experienced any bandwidth problems. Also it's flash based on the desktop and works well on Macs but you can't download the programmes. I believe it was developed by Adobe consulting but I might be wrong! Hi Serge,
