Japan TV IPTV set top box?

scooter1 Wrote:netflix has a good dynamic bandwidth system so 3Mbps down is fine. But TVAPP seems to run only at a fairly high definition, so 3Mbps is very choppy and unusable.

the high CPU usage for presumably "background" activities noted by anotherjohn is worrying.

I didn't notice a spike. I watched FATE STAY/NIGHT on Netflix and compared it to the performance with TVApp, and my CPU stayed within the same range (25%-40%) for both. (FWIW, I'm running under Windows 10 on an Intel NUC with an i5-5250U, 8MB RAM, and 256GB SSD.)

I did notice someone here (http://freesoft-plaza.com/blog-entry-177.html, comments) saying that there appeared to be a large amount of data uploaded from their PC. I did see this through my router as well; sometimes, as much data was going out of my system as was coming in from the broadcast. The benign explanation for this would be that the software is using a P2PTV protocol - i.e., you are peering chunks of the stream you're watching to others. (That would actually explain the insanely high quality of this service.) The non-benign explanation is that it's slowly slurping the contents of your hard drive and scanning for passwords.

So, downloader beware - I found this on the Internet, and can't guarantee that someone in the Chinese Communist Party won't use your credit card to purchase a timeshare in the Carribean.
