But would it mean more revenue to pay for the remaining 2/3 or thereabout the costs that are currently Bourne by the other two channels .....
Same argument as the comm mux coverage ...



What does Comux do... A one stop shop which can back haul, playout, Code and mux and then transmit your service ... -and gives you visibility if what is going on even down to a sniff of what is going up the mast- accessible from a web interface anywhere in the world.

For a small company to,do this each on thier own would be expensive and may not have had the reliability due to the staff that they would need.... And the lack of spare kit you would need ....
And would be charged by the large monopolies you hate!

But it is a novel model.... Which did not fit what was put to be tendered....
And had a lot of audit over it as it was using the BBCs money ..
Your conclusion is total nonsense.
Ch M did it no problem whatsoever and it cost chicken shit and less .

It is simplicity itself to set up a STL to a TX site ,broadcast a DVB-T Mux and pick up a broadcast from from any Mux from a transmitter serving that area and extract the EPG and re insert it into the transport stream of the local TV transmission
Any engineer with more than two brain cells should be able to do this, it's easy peasy .

So please no BS on this propaganda and nonsense peddled out by I suspect Arqiva to convince the regulators to give all the £25m of dosh to them and not where it should have gone and that is direct to the local TV companies , who would have spent it wisely and much better than the front company managed by the dynamic duo.
Makes me wanna puke !!!!!
