Modification of the prior-art M/H system to better suit transmission of internet-protocol (IP) transport packets includes a standard codeword length for a plurality of various options for transverse Reed-Solomon coding of M/H data, which options offer different degrees of forward-error-correction capability. A 235-byte standard codeword length for TRS coding of M/H data allows extending the FIC-Chunks in the Fast Information Channel signaling to double length so as to substantially increase the capability of such signaling to convey information concerning M/H services. In some transmitter apparatus constructed in accordance with aspect of the invention the TRS encoder in the M/H Frame encoder is modified for transmitting the parity bytes of TRS codewords before, rather than after, the data bytes of those TRS codewords.
