That's a good point. I think it would be an interesting test to see what the latency is!
Probably won't be very practical because you'll be introducing additional lag I would imagine.

Um. You obviously need service, which means you have a DVR, which every Uverse customer gets. Those were a given. You do not need another STB to feed the 360 is what I mean. If it's enabled on your account, plug it into the gateway, and it is now an STB.
Same here in Chicago with the old lines. Uverse has fiber lines feeding the neighborhood nodes, so signal is phenomenal up to that point. At the node it transitions to the old copper that's been in service since who knows when. Uverse is IPTV which I'm sure you know, so it all streams. The actual TV streaming portion has nothing to do with your data cap, regardless if it's regular TV, movie rentals, on demand, etc.
That's not what AT&T told me. They said internet and Tv all together had a 250GB cap which if you surpassed it they throttle you terribly. TV would freeze and lag and internet would be very slow.
well your average consumer doesn't use a lot of internet bandwidth that's probably why they did that. When I went a month with downloaded anything and just web browsing Tv service was great and if I remember correctly it only uses about 50GB of the CapSo if you watch a lot of TV you will always have laggy and shitty service? That is smart to sell TV service you can't use...all the more reason I accept Comcast over that garbage.

Then you must have an amazing AVR because any receiver will introduce it, especially if it's doing any processing. The one on mine was horrible even when it was shut off, granted I'm using a PC and not a console.
Also, isn't there some sort of timer adjustment on the 360 for fixing those issues? If so, that may eliminate that.

AT&T was telling me they just redid my entire grid and everyone gets "a dedicated line to the hub". But, they still have a data cap. I think Comcast is going to introduce one soon (they are testing it in AZ). I have been trying to cut back on data usage, but even when trying I am around 300gb a month.

This is true, AT&T bandwidth isn't shared like Comcast/other cable companies. Easy subscriber has a dedicated line to the hub, as well as dedicated copper from hub to the house. If you're home using your internet in the evening when everyone else is, your connection won't be affected like it can be with cable.
why would you imagine that? modern AVR's and HDMI hubs pass through HDMI signals and don't introduce lag. i would imagine that a console with newer technology would introduce any lag simply because of HDMI signals being passed.
If the X1 is capable of using a sidebar when the video input is up, then it has to be doing some of its own processing on the video. However, if they did it a smart way, it should be a fairly quick pass-through when there's nothing to modify.

I wonder how this really works. I look forward to some technical write up on this functionality to understand what the system is doing and how much processing this takes.
Just because they are not using "bleeding edge top of the line technology" in their hardware doesn't mean they aren't doing something fancy in the code. The team engineering this isn't just a bunch of code monkeys who don't know their stuff.Contrary to what you may think, if they are adding ANYTHING, there is processing and introduces a delay on the output. I highly doubt they are using bleeding edge top of the line technology for an overlay. For "broadcasts" it is not noticeable. For gaming it could be (when you add in the additional connection as well), it's possible it's not noticeable enough to make a difference.
small article where the ki devs talk very briefly about how the ram and tech in the x1 have helped them achieve some parts of their game.

Interesting. I hope it is true and that US gamers get the same deal.
