Funny.

It sounds X Digital meets most of the specs we at NSN set for our 
proposed "Next Generation JacorNet" satellite delivery system (Clear 
Channel Satellite, now) back in 1997.  (Good work, Larry!!)

Wegener's "iPump" was actually developed to meet that RFP ... but SG 
was adopted due to "politics" at both ABC and in Cincinatti.

The big difference with the X-Digital platform is that your authorizations
are specific to each show, not to a channel.  So you literally program "Sean
Hannity" on Port A for either live or whatever time you want to run it, vs.
the Starguide's "You have everything on this channel" system.  If it is
net-catched from the box it captures the program, from what I understand,
with all closures intact.
