CBS has announced a streaming video player, similar to Hulu, yet there is one thing: so far, all their clips will be in 720p and 1080p quality soon. Currently, Hulu, the video streaming service put together by News Corp and NBC Universal, streams their videos with three quality settings: 360p, 480p, and 720p, while currently CBS only does 480p for the time being. TechCrunch spoke with the CTO of Hulu, Eric Feng, and mentioned that 1080p content was not in the plan for Hulu content as it would take up “too much bandwidth and processing power,” which is completely understandable. Heck, for the time being, I think 720p is good enough for the time being. Better than regular 480i/p content.
