In a modular security environment, two or more PODs and complementary POD interfaces on the host devices will be necessary to effect these functions, because PODs are capable of passing only one channel at a time for display. This situation is parallel to what exists now in the analog domain, and 47 C.F.R. �76.630(c) reflects this situation. We see no need to impose different requirements for digital television at this time. Hence we will not modify our supplementary equipment rules.
