Item 1 deliberation n ° 2015-33 of November 18, 2015 ("thousandths"), the Conseil supérieur de l' audiovisuel has made an amendment to the rules for the sharing of the radio resource of terrestrial digital television. They anticipate that, as of April 5, 2016, the resource required for broadcasting in MPEG-4 of a standard definition television service (SD) will be 95 thousandths. The resource required to broadcast a high definition (HD) television service in MPEG-4 will be 195 thousandths.
By way of derogation, the resource required for the MPEG-4 broadcast of a metropolitan television service Local in high definition (HD), other than the service broadcast in Ile-de-France on the national network R1, will amount to 160 thousandths. Indeed, the diffusion of local stalls in France 3 as well as that of local television services on the national network R1 impose, outside of Ile-de-France, constraints on the multiplexing techniques used which Make the latter less effective than those implemented on the other national DTT multiplexes. These technical specificities lead to a resource of 160 thousandths of the local stalls in France 3 and local television services when they are broadcast in high definition on the national network R1.
Stopping the MPEG-2 and the generalization of the MPEG-4 compression standard for the distribution of TNT services will make available thousandths available. In particular, this resource will enable the conversion of existing local television services of an SD format to an HD format, in accordance with the objective set out in Article 30-1 of the Act of 30 September 1986 that the Higher Council of Audiovisual aids in the development of the various innovative television broadcasting standards.

The Alès-Nîmes simplex today allows the broadcast of a local television service in standard definition in MPEG-2. As of April 5, 2016, this same simplex will have the ability to broadcast a local television service in high definition, thanks to the passage to the MPEG-4 encoding standard.
