Q: How does DirecPC differ from other desktop broadcast services (such as
Intel's CNN to the desktop)?
A:Other services, such as Intel's CNN to the desktop, deliver only one
information service; DirecPC can deliver multiple services, including CNN
and other commercial and private, custom broadcasts. Intel's CNN to the
desktop is not delivered via satellite, and it supports Indeo only.
Starlight's software supports both Indeo and MPEG, giving DirecPC the
ability to support both. MPEG delivers much higher quality video with the
same bandwidth.
