      Video services is both a major business driver and a bandwidth
      consumer for the future broadband integrated
      network. Understanding different video services requirements is
      of paramount importance for network design.  In this paper, we
      study Distributed Home Theatre, a video service which allows
      distributed users to debate a film.  We investigate the
      interplay between bandwidth reduction and program replication
      techniques. We evaluate the impact of user distribution, network
      topology and number of users per session on this
      interplay. Moreover, we state a bandwidth minimization principle
      which can be used in admission control policies.
