#2026-207Update to Digital Terrestrial TV Transmission Settings for MHD7's R7 Multiplex
AI-generated summary for informational purposes only. Not legal advice. See the original source for the authoritative text.
This decision changes the technical broadcast settings for two digital terrestrial TV transmitter sites used by Multiplex haute définition 7 (MHD7). It replaces the authorized antenna height, power, channel and radiation limits for the Condrieu and Merck-Saint-Liévin sites, with staggered effective dates in May and June 2026. The practical impact is limited to the multiplex operator and the TV channels carried on it. They need to use the new transmission parameters and make sure their equipment and coverage plans match the updated limits.

Key Changes
- Updates the technical transmission parameters for the Condrieu site, including antenna height, power, channel and directional radiation limits.
- Updates the technical transmission parameters for the Merck-Saint-Liévin site, including antenna height, power, channel and directional radiation limits.
- Sets different start dates for the two annexes: 20 May 2026 for Annex 1 and 4 June 2026 for Annex 2.
Obligations
What this law requires
Multiplex haute définition 7 must apply the updated technical transmission parameters for the Condrieu site, including the authorized antenna altitude, ERP/PAR, channel/polarization, and radiation attenuation limits, from the effective date of the new Annex 1.
Multiplex haute définition 7 must apply the updated technical transmission parameters for the Merck-Saint-Liévin site, including the authorized antenna altitude, ERP/PAR, channel/polarization, and radiation attenuation limits, from the effective date of the new Annex 2.
The operator must ensure that the antenna installation at each site respects the authorized altitude within plus or minus 5 meters.
The operator must keep the PAR/ERP at the authorized level because the decision states that the maximum PAR equals the minimum PAR for both sites.
The operator must comply with the site-specific radiation attenuation limits by azimuth set out in the annexes for the Condrieu and Merck-Saint-Liévin transmitters.
