How much bandwidth - streaming?

My maths is shit and I do not really understand kbs etc much.

If I download a TV stream at a rate of 200kbs how much would that use over
an hour please?

about 20 kbytes/s or 72 MB/hour.

I was almost shocked at that figure when I realised I could get around 13
hours for only 1Gb. Not much of a strain really.
Thanks for the help, appreciated.

200Kbps / 8 = 25KB/s (8 bits in a byte)
60*60=3600 (seconds in an hour)
25*3600= 90000KB
90000 / 1024 (KB in a MB)
= 87.890625 MB

Bear in mind that anything less than 500k is almost unwatchable unless its
solid colours like a cartoon

Its a pocket PC so the picture wont be awesome anyway. Have tried a few
streams at 200kbs and they seem to run okay.
