I'm guessing Microsoft does something like for their IPTV platform (used in U-Verse in the US). You receive a unicast stream until the multicast stream is joined (and presumably another keyframe reached). Although this isn't always seamless and you can't rewind to what you received in the unicast stream.

I'm curious, what Pepsi products do you use to treat your mental condition? I've never heard of anything like that being done.
The cheapest plan I've found for an Android phone in the US is Virgin Mobile's $25/month for "unlimited" data + 300 minutes. But there is only one phone you can use on it, and it's not very good. That's what I'm using now as I can't justify paying $70/month on phone service. Plus I'm not locked into a contract with LTE right around the corner.
Verizon recently started offering prepaid data as well, but they force you to buy voice plans that are even more expensive than post-paid instead of PAYG. I'm guessing maraist got $40/month with T-Mobile based on 200MB usage; I need more than that.
