Repeater will be on STANDBY between 10AM and midnight and will AUTO_START(<5s) when a digital tv signal is detected. Test sequence will transmit 7pm to 8pm each evening. Ident every 10 minutes. Out of these hours, if being used it will remain on until after the input signal drops, the repeater will then give an on-screen countdown to the next Ident then return to standby automatically.This ensures maximum availability with minimum power wastage.When on-air the repeater is streamed live on the www.batc.tv website.
