TV.com -- CBS Interactive's answer to video sites like Hulu, Veoh, and Joost -- has announced today that it is beta testing streams in full 1080p high-definition.
The beta site includes clips of popular CBS properties CSI, Survivor, The Late Show With David Letterman, and even a classic Pink Panther cartoon.
The videos are delivered through Adobe Flash (Flash Player 9.0.124.0 or higher is required), and require a connection of 3 Mbps or faster. Likewise, Windows and Linux users are encouraged to have a 3 GHz processor to stream smoothly. OS X users have a minimum processor requirement of only 1.8 GHz.
Love the creative processor requirements, must of bought some apple stock recently. Here are the full spec's unmolested by betanews.
# Windows: Internet Explorer 7.x, Firefox 3.x, or later, Intel Pentium 4 3GHz processor (or equivalent), 128MB of RAM, 64MB of VRAM
# Mac OS X: Safari 2.x, Firefox 3.x, or later, Intel Core Duo 1.83GHz or faster processor, 256MB of RAM, 64MB of VRAM
# Linux: Firefox 3.x or later, Intel Pentium 4 3GHz processor (or equivalent), 128MB of RAM, 64MB of VRAM

|At how many FPS? Ever try watching a show on a 103" screen from Hulu? I figured it about ten FPS and highly compressed with lagging audio. I was unimpressed.

Let me guess. Two different families of processors. Pentium 4 versus Core2.
