Sec. 76.1909 Redistribution control of unencrypted digital terrestrial broadcast
content.
(a) For the purposes of this section, the terms unencrypted digital
terrestrial broadcast content, EIT, PMT, broadcast flag, covered demodulator
product, and marked content shall have the same meaning as set forth in
Sec. 73.9000 of this chapter.
(b) Encrypted retransmission. Where a multichannel video programming
distributor retransmits unencrypted digital terrestrial broadcast content in
encrypted form, such distributor shall, upon demodulation of the 8–VSB,
16–VSB, 64–QAM or 256–QAM signal, inspect either the EIT or PMT for the
broadcast flag, and if the broadcast flag is present:
(1) Securely and robustly convey that information to the consumer product
used to decrypt the distributor's signal information, and
(2) Require that such consumer product, following such decryption, protect
the content of such signal as if it were a covered demodulator product
receiving marked content.
(c) Unencrypted retransmission. Where a multichannel video programming
distributor retransmits unencrypted digital terrestrial broadcast content in
unencrypted form, such distributor shall, upon demodulation:
(1) Preserve the broadcast flag, if present, in both the EIT and PMT; and
(2) Use 8–VSB, 16–VSB, 64–QAM, or 256–QAM signal modulation for the
retransmission.
(d) Unmarked content. Where a multichannel video programming distributor
retransmits unencrypted digital terrestrial broadcast content that is not
marked with the broadcast flag, the multichannel video programming
distributor shall not encode such content to restrict its redistribution.
