Real simple question, Hoping for a real simple answer.
it's Limbo time kiddies how low can you go, Here goes.
How much bandwith is really required to run both Movies & Live TV using OpenELEC???
The OrangePi is already cost savings on electrical consumtion.
How low of internet speed can we get by with, I'd love to cut the cost of my gouging cable internet provider is charging me.

thanks

live tv is usually in MPEG2 format which is already around 2-3MB/s for SD format
