Well - there's alot of difference between a local device anda broadcast device. For one, broadcast devices deliver ATSC or DVB or DSS ... MPEG-2 transport streams (not worrying about analog for the moment). Local devices may or may not - depends what type of device we're dealing with. Another difference, broadcast transport streams have unique names based on things like network ids and service ids - this does not simply carry over for in-home content. > It is no problem to give every device an IP. Are you saying it's no problem to give my camcorder, DVD playeretc an IP address? It may be no problem imagining that every device in the house has an IP address - but this is different from reality: many existing home-networkable AV products are not IP-based, and many CE companies are working on non-IP architectures for home networking.
