I believe you're an optimist.
Weekly football is probably the second most important thing on a TV network
behind the championships for whatever sport they're carrying, in a year.
I'm not saying you need the whole 19mbps (though, remember here, we are not
talking about "Additional Carriage"; we are talking about *being the only way
people can see that game* -- and my example was the Super Bowl).. but unless
MPEG algorithms have gotten *much* better than I'm aware of, 5mb/s is
probably not enough for the Super Bowl. And you'd really be better off with
some FEC, too, even if it costs you a couple frames extra delay.
Cheers,
