A real time apparatus for testing a DTV antenna transmitting system,
wherein the DTV antenna transmitting system transmits an original signal
from a DTV transmitter to a DTV transmitting antenna, is disclosed that
includes a probe, wherein the probe is connected in series with the DTV
antenna transmitting system, and senses signals traversing the DTV
antenna transmitting system. An error detector of the testing apparatus
compares the received signal to the original signal to identify the
magnitude and location of errors.
