That's just on-demand TV - Comcast has been heavily advertising this
recently in my area. Although time will tell if the cable companies
have the bandwidth to keep up with EVERYONE getting custom streams - the
cable system relies heavily on its multicast-like nature to avoid
overdrawing their bandwidth.
