I was recently speaking with a relative of mine who is now getting his 
TV delivered over DSL. He is an engineer, so he asked the tech for a bit 
more information on how it works.

With this system, only the channels that are actively being watched are 
beamed over the DSL line, and when you change a channel, it sends a 
signal to the TV "server" to deliver a different stream.

With his connection, he is limited to watching 8-10 different channels 
at a time, but I could see this working well on a robust wireless 
network with a channel or two.
