#2026-206Updated technical broadcast parameters for multiplex R6 sites in France
AI-generated summary for informational purposes only. Not legal advice. See the original source for the authoritative text.
This decision updates the technical broadcast settings for two DTT multiplex R6 sites in France. It changes the authorized antenna height, power, channel, polarization, and radiation limits for the Condrieu and Merck-Saint-Liévin transmitters. The practical effect is limited to the multiplex operator SMR6 and the channel editors carried on R6, who must use the new technical parameters from 20 May 2026 and 4 June 2026. This is a routine network configuration change, not a policy shift for viewers.

Key Changes
- Updates the authorized technical transmission settings for the Condrieu and Merck-Saint-Liévin R6 sites.
- Sets new antenna height, power, channel, polarization, and radiation pattern limits for each site.
- Replaces the earlier technical details from Decision No. 2026-86, with staggered effective dates in May and June 2026.
Obligations
What this law requires
SMR6 must apply the updated transmission parameters for the Condrieu site set out in Annex 1, including antenna altitude 269 m (±5 m), ERP 8 W, channel 46 V, and the specified azimuth attenuation limits, replacing the prior parameters for that site.
SMR6 must apply the updated transmission parameters for the Merck-Saint-Liévin site set out in Annex 2, including antenna altitude 140 m (±5 m), ERP 1 W, channel 21 H, and the specified azimuth attenuation limits, replacing the prior parameters for that site.
The channel editors carried on the R6 multiplex must use the new technical transmission settings applicable to the multiplexed services once the relevant annex enters into force for each site.
SMR6 must ensure that the antenna altitude for each site remains within plus or minus 5 meters of the stated authorized altitude.
SMR6 must keep the maximum and minimum ERP equal to the values authorized in the annexes for each site.
