Claim:
1. A method for airing a broadcast signal over a broadcast network comprising: receiving a broadcast signal at a transmission relay circuit of a demarcation/equipment cabinet; determining the broadcast signal type with a broadcast signal sensing and discerning circuit of the transmission relay circuit; reconfiguring a signal processing circuit of the transmission relay circuit when the configuration of the signal processing circuit does not support transmission of the determined broadcast signal type; generating the received broadcast signal with a broadcast signal generation circuit of the transmission relay circuit; injecting the generated broadcast signal into the signal processing circuit; passing the generated broadcast signal from the signal processing circuit to an interface panel communicatively coupled with the broadcast signal generation circuit; looping the generated broadcast signal from the interface panel to the transmission relay circuit; and confirming signal path continuity between the transmission relay circuit and the interface panel.
