720x480 is SD, look it up. It has a different pixel aspect ratio of .9

HD needs 20Mb/s, not 2MB/s.

They're one and the same.

Mb/s is megabits/sec.

MB/s is megabytes/sec.

HD needs 20Mb/s or 2MB/s.

In the context (my saying that a 10/100 network can do 8-9 MB/s), I feel that was clear.
Not exactly. 20Mbit/s is 2.5MByte/s

Divide by 8.

Yep, but for rough estimates it's fine. :)

I've got two of the HDHomeRuns, they're dynamite. Two HDHomeRuns and two PVR-500's is TV joy. ;)
