[grc] [Stubblefield] Translator program origination

[Michelle Bradley]

The only way that can remotely work is if the translator and the full 
power NCE is commonly-owned.

"Satellator" rules require common ownership and a host station in the 
reserved band.

There is no known precedent for an HD subchannel being fed via satellite 
to a commonly owned translator.

Otherwise, the translator will need to receive the host station (or 
another translator carrying the desired programming) over the air.
