TTBOMK, no, the affils don't actually reencode the whole feed; there are boxes these days that can insert your bug without trashing the rest of the stream -- and I think their contract with the network *requires* them to run their primary streams as-had, though I can't produce a citation on that.
Do you have a citation on this, Chris? I have a couple MythTV people on that list who work at network affils that I could ask.
Well, many/most have multiple channels in their digital stream, and they have to reencode to lower bitrates to fit them all in (different stations do better or worse jobs at this). Only one signal here just carries one channel. -- Chris Adams <cmadams@hiwaay.net> Systems and Network Administrator - HiWAAY Internet Services I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble.
