How much bandwidth does MLB.TV use?
If I watch an average length HD baseball game stream (around 3 hours), how much bandwidth am I using?
iMac, Mac OS X (10.6.7), 2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Interesting question. I'm thinking it's a bunch. According to MLB, if you want to watch in standard definition, you would need a Internet speed of 768kbps and in HD, 3000kbps. Simple math would say for HD, 3MB x 60 x 60 would be 10,800MB per hour. Seems like a lot, but unless you have some throughput max, nothing to worry over. I think I read somewhere that Comcast has a max of 250GB per month and if you exceed that limit, they "throttle" you back for the rest of the month.
