...would bundle U.S. TV channels much like cable and
satellite TV providers already do but deliver them over the
Internet through the Intel-branded set-top boxes.

Gosh. Watch the ISPs network centers all blow up.

to
or France or Germany or Luxembourg where it has been
available for 5 years or more, or for streaming TV
(live or catch up / missed /watch again) shows over
the Internet
And then there is the HibbTV standard which as has allowed
the catch up TV services of the major broadcasters in France to be
accessible by the EPG.
<http://en.wikipedia.ORG/wiki/Hybrid_Broadcast_Broadband_TV>
In other words, instead of having to search for a program
in the catch up TV application, one just clicks on the
already aired program in the EPG and one can start watching
provided of course the Internet connection is available.

In the late 1990s, I used RealPlayer with Dial-Up to listen
to some of the BBC radio stations.
The audio was subject to rebuffering quite often, is
rebuffering a problem with HbbTV?

HbbTV is just the overall software branding/platform,
so the underlying transport is subject to all the same
problems.
The question or not of stuttering of the stream being
played comes down to the Internet connection and of course
the quality of the link from the HbbTV box (ie "smart" box)
or the HbbTV enabled TV to the router be it wireless or ethernet.
Most people with DSL of at least 8 Mbs have no problems
playing HD streams from the BBC with the BBC custom iplayer.
If you can get connected to some proxy server that is in the
UKofGB&NI so that your IP address is proxied to a UKofGB&NI
geographic IP address, you could even try it out yourself
for TV HD programs, otherwise you can just try out the radio
streams which are not geopgraphically protected (other than
a quality restriction on the live streams, ie no 320 kbps Radio 3).
<http://www.bbc.co.UK/iplayer/>
Be warned that a may take a second attempt to connect sometimes.
I have no idea whose "brilliant" idea it was to use "brilliant pink"
as the main branding/font color for iPlayer though.
