[The Green Button] Why doesn't VMC work with U-Verse? - The Green Button: Why buy a TV with a bunch of somewhat-useless tuners on it when you can get an LCD screen that looks better and use a VMC based PC to send content to the LCD? Not only can you watch TV on the thing but it also plays your entire music collection, shows all of your photos and in a pinch can run a PowerPoint presentation or heck, if you find you want to do something that no one's thought of yet, you can write your own software!

Not a big deal, but with the higher bandwidth from cable or FiOS you won’t have that to worry about.

Even Verizon’s fiber-to-the-home service, FiOS, is moving to multicast because it was architected in a dumb way that sorely limits what should be a lot of throughput.
