BBC 1 and 2 Dover. Analogue transmitters were replaced in 2001, primarily to retain the integrity of the signal across the North Sea for the Benelux Rx stations. The transmitters were dual (analogue and DVB-T) standard. They were 'lifted and shifted' in 2013 I think to Emley to be used for COM 7/8.
All a bit OTT really, seeing as in 2003, BBC became available FTA on Astra 28.2, and those feeds were used (and continue to to this day)
