[SBE] HD Set top/ Closed captioning

[William McCombs]

A couple of years ago we had a similar need, but even at that time  
the 3100 was no longer available.  Although significantly higher in  
price, we had to invest in the Sencore IRD to get line-21 on the NTSC  
output.  Since that time I've not kept track of capabilities of later  
consumer boxes that will re-encode line 21 on their composite outputs.
