The top profile for Blu-Ray is 36 megabits per second, and that is
not used on most titles. Over-the-air HDTV is 19 megabits or less.
Cable HD channels are often only 12-15 megabits per second. OTA and
cable HD is typically MPEG2, and MPEG4 can reach similar quality in half
the bandwidth, which means TV quality HD can be 6-10 megabits per
second.
