As you already know, the allocated memory to an application is only 6MB ~ 7MB on Set-top box. Unfortunately, we can not set the heap size for each xlet application at the runtime like  desktop or server applications. Therefore, with limited memory we should be careful of loading large images from remote server that causes it easily to an “Out of Memory” exception on the Set-top box.

See the following demo. For each image, the size is about 300KB ~ 500KB.

Wow, it’s so incredible! How it works without an memory exception?? It works also with VOD playing at the same time.  And we do not need to resize images to download from server side.
