I'll look into that.

A Verizon FiOS Business TV Sales rep told me that once they hand me the drop, 
they don't care how many TVs I connect to it, as long as they're all a)
on the premises and b) not available to the commercial public.  I assume
they don't care whether I use multicast or coax to connect them.  :-)
