An IP distribution to the home would be interesting. No need for stat muxing, as I think a Constant Bitrate would be prefferred for the multicast streams.
Its going to be interesting how they progress.

I obviously had the info wrong about the reason for DTV upgrade, the guy telling me gave the impression the change was due to technology and not capacity, the capacity issue you mention would make some sense.
I was led to believe the last mile is very much now agreed on though, and the bottom line is cost. I am led to believe that HFC has come out the winner in the argument, and the technology I mentioned in the previous post looks almost certain to be implemented.
I was certainly told exactly the opposite a month or so ago from the same source, so it appears things have swung in favour of HFC technology recently.
