Well from what I understand....

You're not a million miles away Ian. What will happen is that the STB will be the PC (in effect) and your TV the monitor.

This means it opens up video on demand, I also assume it would be possible demand a live stream (such as BBC1) which would drastically reduce the bandwidth requirement to your home as you're only getting one channel at a time.

Maybe I'm barking up the wrong tree (or just plain barking) in which case I'm sure someone will correct me!
