Description
Describe the bug
There are still references to the "Broadcaster" actor in the code, comments and operation. This is confusing for people using the software, and also to developers wanting to contribute to the software.
To Reproduce
Look at the code, watch the console output, look for references to "Broadcaster". Alternatively, do a search in github for the word "broadcaster" and see how many you can find.
Expected behaviour
I expect that all references to "Broadcaster" are replaced with references to "Gateway". This should be done as a refactoring exercise throughout, in function names and other code, comments, text strings. It need to be consistent and clear and not confusing.
