>the only problem with this is that there are VERY few people out there
who have 10bT internet connections

this where is takes the torrent idea of sharing. if you have 5 people in 
Boston watching the Simpsons on channel 4, then you have 5 seeds, and 
you're available bandwidth is their total bandwidth combined

Another idea for sharing would be along the lines of what someone else had 
said. Say "Family Ties" comes on channel 3 in Denver at 4 am, and John in 
Denver has nothing scheduled to record at 4 am. How cool would it be Dave 
in Miami could have John's box record Family Ties, and upload it to Dave?

Actually, I like that idea better than my original one. It would have to 
be something you would volunteer your self for, but I think it would be 
way cool to do.
