Bad internet TV?
If I use Miro to watch movies, linking my PC to a TV, how is the picture definition? I'm thinking about getting away from the traditional cable and satellite companies, but worried that I will be dissapointed in picture quality on a large screen TV.

Inappropriate?The channels are of varying quality (because Miro is just connecting you directly to the creator's material, wherever it may be posted).
I suggest you check it out for yourself: http://getmiro.com/

Inappropriate?May I say that this is the real question Miro has to answer, the real choice it has to make?
Dean is right, of course: there are better and worse channels, and in theory (but only in theory) all HD channels will give an acceptable quality on a TV screen.
My point is that Miro's focus should be on end users (those that want to get away form "the traditional cable and satellite companies") and not on content creators. Obviously, without creators Miro will only be a hollow shell with no use. But still, we should regard them and instrumental, and not lose sight of the best possible user experience as our final goal.
In practical terms, this means that if you have to make the creators' life a bit harder in terms of requirements for publishing content, obligation of tagging it or whatever, in order to have a smoother, cleaner user interface (I'm thinking about the Channel Guide here), so be it. -

Inappropriate?I am sorry I posted almost the same thing three times. Now I know that once you have edited your post you have to delete the old one too. Can any administrator fix it? I promise I won't do it again.
I’m a bit embarrased

Inappropriate?I think it's a balance that needs to be reached — creators are very important, without them, Miro is useless. But we do need to focus on making the experience for the user superb... better than what they could get on the web or anywhere else.
