It's certainly not "impossible", impractical almost certainly ... I'd be intrigued on what sort of bit rate that would be required. 30mb ? 40mb ?

But what about 3D TV ? Isn't that going to require very high bit rates ? (Personally i don't get the point of 3D TV ....)

You mention rapid movement .... a good example of what's wrong with BBC HD was a recent music show ... the background was static and crystal clear, the artist was bouncing in time with music and blurred out of recognition.. for pete's sake they only have to transmit the bit that's moving ! And it can't even cope with that ... duh
