I'm told the reason for the source label in the corner of all the
programming is required by the copyright holders' contracts. It's so

the screen has some kind of post-transmission value...(c;

No. It's simply so you have the channel or logo in front of you all

stations in this case.

This is one of the reasons my DVD collection is so large.

That won't necessarily help you. Bugs are showing up on DVDs.

The Rocky and Bullwinkle DVDs have them though they're not on all
the time (and some new titling has been edited in, rather badly in
most cases).
