You're right, but I think that CSS is free. They are charging licensing fees for DTCP.

Divi partner had to sell a Tektronix/Mitsubishi 1080I HDTV encoder.................................... broadcastingcable.com Technology Briefs Date Posted: 9/25/1998 WBTV goes digital with Comark WBTV(TV), the Jefferson-Pilot station and CBS affiliate in Charlotte, N.C., now is broadcasting high-powered DTV signals using a Comark digital transmitter. WBTV-DT began broadcasting earlier this month at 1 megawatt, the maximum power allowed under FCC DTV regulations, on ch. 23 in Charlotte. The DTV station also is broadcasting intermittently at lower power levels as part of its digital testing process, says Bill Napier, Jefferson-Pilot vice president of operations. WBTV-DT is generating digital video and audio using a Tektronix/Mitsubishi 1080I HDTV encoder, Dolby audio encoders and Faroudja format translators to convert its NTSC programming to DTV. The digital signals are being broadcast from a new Dielectric linearly polarized DTV antenna mounted at the top of WBTV's 2,000-foot tower; WBTV also has installed a new NTSC antenna from Dielectric at a lower height on the tower. "This [DTV] installation was conceived to be a final installation," Napier says. "The antenna wasn't going to be side-mounted, and we weren't going to take the attitude that we'd come back here and finish it later."
