TV can play also older codecs, I think.. making realtime ren-
dering easier but increasing the required bandwidth.

An issue with such an implementation was coming to mind now.
If the TV is dealing with this like a file and trying to buffer
i.e. 5 seconds then this is an issue.

DLNA might also provide "streaming" kind of profiles, need to
read more.
