All things related to multicast

[Matthew Davy <>]

During the beacon presentation at the Tempe Joint Tech's, I realized this
might work on OS-X.   I downloaded the beacon to my iBook during the 
presentation and it seemed to work fine :)

What are you using for a multicast A/V client ?   The OS-X version of 
MacTV seems to work fairly well - although it seems more CPU intensive
than I would have thought.
