Nothing really, but to preserve the experience of Netflix, you'd have to have on premise equipment cache the broadcast (the actual content) and the library of films you can watch instantly will be limited to the storage of your device.

Because the bandwidth purchased by Netflix will be limited and they'll need to rebroadcast certain content (maybe people's boxes were turned off) they just won't be able to keep everybody's box in sync all the time. And will be a worse experience.

I just think it is economically unfeasible for Netflix to purchase enough bandwidth in enough markets to preserve the same customer experience. To say nothing of the technological, signal propagation and equipment manufacturing challenges.
