[Discuss-gnuradio] BPDG not unanimous on modulators

[Seth David Schoen]

It turns out that a CE industry representative objected:

> Many organizations (non-consumer) use modulators, for totally rational uses.
> In addition, several companies are considering using modulation as a method
> of redistribution of ATSC streams in the home.

> [...]

> Perhaps you achieve the same by requiring that modulators must pass through
> the Retransmission Control descriptor.  In addition, all encoders must
> encode and pass the descriptor.  So if a stream was demodulated and demuxed,
> then remuxed if necessary then demodulated, the descriptor would survive.
> And if a stream was to be encoded, the descriptor could not be stripped.
