There are already flags in the transport stream to aid PVRs that do this.

First of all that’s a lovely ad hominem based on absolutely zero knowledge of the projects I have worked on. I have led teams for Pay-TV deployments on satellite and OTA with budgets orders of magnitude larger than any live streaming packag

Now you're just splitting hairs about the definition of QoS, which again is defined in standards and fits in with the standardised definition of IPTV. I'm not going to quote it all because the chances are there is another standard with slig

If you knew more about IPTV than I did then you'd know that there are internationally standardised definitions for what "IPTV" is designated as compared to "Internet TV".

Eugh, more abuse of the term IPTV. IPTV is a standardised term requiring a managed QoS network (i.e not the Internet) so you can match the QoS provided by managed RF spectrum or dedicated cable frequencies.

I guess that explains why the fan is permanently on in Linux on my XPS L502x.

They do let people pay to access their content - it's just done in a price discriminatory fashion. If they started offering content online they'd lose cable customers who pay more than casual web users.

It only looks refreshing because it lacks detail. Anyway this whole project is blatantly political. Directgov was a product of the last government so why not spend money making a new one and show how we've made all government services go o

ABC wouldn't be able to do this if they were not a public broadcaster. Advertisers would be furious.

Did you even read the article? He says "one fork is being sold with a comercial [sic] license". Commercial licence != GPL.

Government is taking control. ITU-T (which is one of the standardisation bodies behind HEVC) is part of the United Nations.

I would speculate the SFLC said the FSF would try and sue to get the keys in a "civil-war", not that the GPL mandates Canonical giving out the keys.

He makes valid points about abuse of the FRAND patent system.

Glyn Moody just makes up facts to fit his own agenda and then when you point them out to him he just says you're missing the overall point. He creates more FUD than the organisations he complains about.

It's not the same thing if the Apple TV can't provide features like comparable HDTV to large parts of the population. "Watching a web stream on your tv" and "Watching TV" aren't the same thing.

Apple TV (or Google TV, or any other TV platform) still doesn't have anywhere the reach of good old-fashioned cable. Well you could have said the same thing in the early days of Sky satellite television when they bought the EPL rights. Co

What's the male/female split?

the text of the article doesn't seem to explain how the assertion is made. It's techcrunch so of course the number was pulled out of the author's backside.

Not entirely sure why I'm being downvoted but the same privacy concerns should apply to Android as well as Chrome.

The same thing also applies to Android.

Having done the same thing I would agree entirely. There are lots of similar patterns in decoders from a similar family.

ffmpeg has been able to decode neither formats until now.

There are a number in the multimedia space: There is x264 LLC which dual-licenses the x264 encoder and pays back royalties to developers. - http://x264licensing.com/ I run Open Broadcast Systems which is a "corporate face" of the Open Bro
