Q: Why isn't the picture quality the same as on TV?
A:
Internet bandwidth is an important part of video streaming delivery and playback. We have made each episode available in two formats: 700 kbps 'narrow band' and 1200 kbps 'broadband' ( for ADSL, ISDN, T1...). Bandwidth requirements for 700 kbps are such that it reduces the quality of the images and sound when compared to television broadcast quality. The quality of video streaming through 700 kbps modems and standard telephone lines may therefore be poor, whereas the quality through 1200 kbps broadband will be greatly increased.
