  Network operators require their programs to be almost 100% available "on air2. This applies to public broadcasting companies, which have to fulfill public functions, and to commercial service and program providers with their own networks, who are liable to considerable penalties or loss of earnings from advertisements if their programs are not constantly available. Reliability is a particularly critical point in digital TV where several programs are transmitted by a single transmitter station. This high level of program availability is ensured by the modern, favourably priced (n+1) standby transmitters from Rohde & Schwarz.
