Hello all,
Hope you are all well!
Just had the skyplayer update sent through to my xbox 360 so I can now watch sky tv through my xbox. I was wondering however if any of you geniuses (genii?) out there know roughly how much an hour of tv would equate to as a download?
I'm a bit concerned I shall be chewing through my download allowance in double quick time otherwise!
I have no idea I'm afraid, you could work out a rough estimate, by using it for an hour, whilst monitoring the bandwidth usage.
It depends on a number of factors including compression ratio. A ballpark figure for 1 hour would be around 600MB. If it's in high definition you can double that figure.
I thought HD was 4x, Zap?
every one hour program i've downloaded or streamed has been around 750-780mb.
Its not broadcast over the xbox in HD I belive
The stream details:-The lowest quality streams at 600Kbps, the medium at 1.1Mbps and the best quality at 1.8Mbps.
Thanks, Steve. :karmic:

It's possible depending on the source, BBC HD on iPlayer for example works out at around 2x in general as they steam in 720p. Sky is a little more complicated as they broadcast in two HD formats including 1080i (which probably would be nearer 4x) but I'm not sure how that translates to an Xbox.
Badly? :evil:
