That's right, my Freesco box has a 10mbit ethernet card. But I'm not 
planning on replacing it. I don't know about my WiFi. Anyway, I wouldn't 
use multicast in nearly any home situation. Too sensitive to older/wifi 
devices. And usually there is more than enough bandwidth to send all the 
desired channels p2p over a home network.
