Hmm. I had acquired the idea, from looking at the setup screens on the
latest gen SciAt converters that it was, at very least, FDM IP multicast;
that is, MPEG2 over IP multicast, and then multiplexed 4:1 or so into
multiple broadband carriers, but sent as IP multicast streams and
decoded that way. No?
