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?
