No, that's not possible without a specific piece of software being installed on each multicast listener to report back to TV Licensing. In operation, only the very next 'upstream' router from each multicast listener knows the actual IP address of its listener(s). Whether there is only 1 listener or 100 listeners on a network segment is irrelevant to the routers *further* upstream; they only know YES/NO whether they need to forward traffic for a particular multicast group to the router servicing that segment. -- "We do not inherit the earth http://backtobreath.com/ from our ancestors; ...-- __@ we borrow it from our children" ....--- _\<,_ -- Antoine de St. Exupery (_) (_) Reg. user: Linux #390621 Ubuntu #7291 ___________________________________________________________ All New Yahoo!
