I see the future of (8) 1 RU video servers in a rack, outputting IP to a mux
(fancy mixer) and into the transmitter. The quality would be better than SDI
and the Mux (Formerly encoder) would be cheaper (around ½) because no input
video cards.
The reason for better quality is the video out in the server is actually a
video stream that normally has to be uncompressed, fed into an I/O card with
gives you SDI out. It then feeds an SDI card in the encoder, compressed again
into a stream, muxed with other streams and then fed into the transmitter.

I agree. Was thinking movies would be a 4 or 6 hour block. Six hour block is
nice because two “promo” screens covers all times of airing, like:
12:00 Real American Hero
2:30 A Farewell To Arms
4:30 A Bride For Henry
And a 2nd
6:00 Real American Hero
8:30 A Farewell To Arms
10:30 A Bride For Henry
Works for 12 midnight or 12 Noon, 6AM or 6 PM.

I've noticed that some of the "channels" on PlutoTV have done something similar
to this. I think the block is longer when movies are shown.

Dear friends I’m afraid I been thinking. A dangerous past time I know.
It seems silly to think folks watch a TV channel more than 3 hours at a
time. I know when my favorite show, Live PD was on, my attention was waning
toward the end of a 3 hour block. And I never watched anything else on A&E.
So maybe that is the viewing habit of today. People watch one channel for
2-3 hours, then move on to something else. Maybe, and just maybe, we should
program a good solid 3 hours block each night, say starting at 4 pm, and then
repeat it till 4 pm the next night. So if you were doing a Classic TV format,
you might make Mondays & Wednesday Comedy, Tuesday & Thursdays Detective,
Wednesday and Saturday Sci-Fi and Sundays War or Game Shows. Folks at home
would tune in during one of those 8 blocks and watch. They could watch other
channels and know they can come back and catch their favorite 3 hours on your
station. If doing Classic TV with 8 minutes of ads per hour, there is a good
chance if they bought one of those 48 slots in the 3 hours and kept that slot
for all repeats, almost everyone in the area would see their spot at least
once a day.
Unless it is a tragedy, folks do not stay glued to a station 24/7.
Thoughts?
