I believe Cisco had/has a solution called VQE: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/video/ps7191/ps7127/product_data_.... It works by having a free software (LGPL or GPL) VQE client on the STB or PC device that queues and requests missing packets. -- Matt Reath CCIE #27316 (SP) matt@mattreath.com | http://mattreath.com Twitter: http://twitter.com/mpreath
