I have no idea where you got that information :) Perhaps you're thinking of 
half-duplex communication. Even with half-duplex, you will only get half the 
line rate if both ends are trying to send to each other as fast as possible.

A 10Mbit network will let you peform file transfers at 1 megabyte per second - 
perfectly adequate for DVB :) (perhaps not for DVD, though)

Cheers,
Gavin.
