Additionally, starting later in April and then in June, the company will offer "downloadable enhancements" such as:

* DVR functionality where fans will be able to pause, rewind and fast forward through live programming;
* A Key Plays feature where users will be able to jump to key scoring plays and pivotal moments at any time during the game.

I tried the website and ran some video was quite impressive but i would love to see HD so hopefully they will implement this as a standard feature in the near future. Needs to have 16:9 ratio too as well love that feature.

HD would be an excellent feature no doubt, but what if you are trying to use the site from a less than stellar internet connection (cough cough, my shoe store), with less than stellar connection speed? having the option would be awesome, but also having a 'standard' video playback that wont bog down the server and won't keep me from enjoying live feeds of foxy boxing in Germany.

the gentlemen's website NaughtyAmerica has this feature for their videos and the quality the user chooses greatly affects how long it takes to load playback AND skip forward.

heavy thoughts to ponder, espn, heavy
