why not permit your users to subscribe to shows/instances, stream them on-demand for viewing later... and leave truly live content (news/sports/etc) as is, with only the ability to pause/rewind? how is this different from broadcast tv today though?for some of us, the thing that is wonderful about netflix is the long tail. my tastes are a sigma or three out.
usenet is over -> in all seriousness, if the content was available and you could request it be streamed to you 'sometime tomorrow' or 'sometime before Friday', you and the other people like you coudl get serviced on a singular 'stream'. I suspect that the vast majority of content is in the 1st sigma... and again, servicing everyone with a limited number of multicast'd streams seems like it would be nice. even falling back to unicast for some set of mathematically/cost-conscious examples seems like a win here.
