1. A method of monitoring broadcast television signals comprising:

  • generating a first receiver decoder circuit signal at a first receiver decoder circuit for a first broadcast television channel;

    communicating the first receiver decoder circuit signal to a first transfer switch;

    generating a second receiver decoder circuit signal at a second receiver decoder circuit for the first broadcast television channel;

    communicating the second receiver decoder circuit signal to the first transfer switch;

    generating an output at the first transfer switch corresponding to the first receiver decoder circuit signal;

    after generating the output, broadcasting the first receiver decoder circuit signal;

    generating a monitoring display at a broadcasting system formed in response to, and simultaneously displaying, the first receiver decoder circuit signal and the second receiver decoder circuit signal;

    after generating the monitoring display, switching the output of the first transfer switch to the second receiver decoder circuit signal;

    in response to switching the output of the first transfer switch, discontinuing broadcasting the first receiver decoder circuit signal; and

    in response to switching the output of the first transfer switch, broadcasting the second receiver decoder circuit signal at the first receiver decoder circuit signal.
