Homechoice: Video on Demand (VoD)

What is the video quality on the TV service?

The bandwidth available on the HomeChoice ADSL line is 2.3Mbps, which
is significantly lower than DVD, which streams at around the 10Mbps mark.

However it is sufficient for most television programmes on a standard TV set,
even though picture quality is visibly lower than other digital TV services.
There is also a 160Kbps bidirectional channel for control signals, such as 
commands you send via your remote control.   The Internet service shares
this channel.
