I don't have any previous experience, but my thoughts are:

This is exactly what Satellite TV transmission does (one way data with
error correction). I believe it's possible to encapsulate data within
the DVB standard, but it involves wrapping the data within MPEG frames.
I would guess that the efficiencies of this are pretty bad, but it's
probably possible.

I have no idea how you'd go about researching this though!
