The 27.5 W services are a basically the whole two DTT muxes Not individual services
which at a main site Is the third path ….. used when both telco links fail.
So the BBC Just feed a duplicate of the mux to the satellite for the failed site .
(And hope no other region has failed)
For the Bilsdale relays it just needed to be modulated and applied to the transmitter ….
With clever maths it is possible to remove a service from a statmuxed
Stream and substitute another service which itself can be in a satmuxed stream.
All without decoding the substituting service …..
I demonstrated this to the BBC on 6/7/2005 ….You could not really see the join !
A use case may be a north Devon relay …it can receive Wenvoe perfectly
So drop in BBC one SW from DSAT …
But it was expensive …. And not thought reliable
So you will find a number of line fed relays on the north Devon coast
