 | said by decarteret: So how does that work if you can REW, FF and pause the stream? Everybody can control the stream everybody is listening to?
If some sort of box is required by students to get the cable (if it's digital), it's possible that some sort of application layer can be inserted such that individual cable users can surf to and listen to what they want. DishTV has added such a software layer into its basic satellite receivers that allow a user to play games, interact with billing, etc. I think it'd be a relatively easy thing to add to a digital cable box.
