[The Green Button] Why doesn't VMC work with U-Verse? - The Green Button: I think it's important for Microsoft to listen to their customers and not to the media companies because, as I've illustrated with my "social network" example above and the HD-DVD/BluRay stalemate, people are eventually going to wise-up and not buy stuff if it's not compatible with their lifestyle. Vista/Win7/whatever and Media Center could end up being the hub of a truly digital lifestyle but if the current trend continues, we'll be living in a future where we all have fond memories of the connected-digital-future that never happened.

[Gudjon's Blog] Gudjon's Blog » Recipe for Fast Channel Zapping in IPTV Deployments: There can be an issue with the buffer in the STB (imagine a situation where just the last frames have to be played, we send a full GOP, then comes the second GOP, the STB will have to receive both GOPs, or picture freezing will be introduced), but this can be addressed on the set top box, either by having a large enough buffer for two whole GOPs or by implementing a selective buffer purge. This is hard to address on the server side, because the network latency can vary.
