It's another MPEG container. I think one use of this is DVB (so,
"digital television").

Just like there is a different MPEG container used in DVD-Video.

My question here would be how flexible it is regarding what can be in
the container. From what I remember of DVD-Video, these containers
aren't that limited, you just need to stick to some criteria if you want
compatibility with a specific kind of player (say, DVD-Video, where IIRC
the video stream has to be encoded using MPEG-2, and should have one of
a few frame sizes, likewise subtitles probably need to be in the bitmap
format, even if MPEG can carry other subtitle formats (I think DVB also
defines a textual format for subtitles?)).
