OTOH, if it was real time and everybody watched it the same time in 8 mbps AVC then they would only have to make multicasting work. Five major networks could be pushed for a total of only 40 mbps to the whole neighborhood.
Absolutely, but then you lose the "on demand" aspect, and have only created another broadcast medium. Nothing wrong with the per se, but definitely not a substitute for a TiVo in the home, which was the original intent of this thread.
