We are a political party based in Malta (Europe), looking to set up a
national TV station.  What is the basic equipment needed to set up a
functional TV station?
Our preference is to digital equipment as we are looking for cheap,
practical and functional more than quality.  Where can we buy such
equipment as second hand?  And where can it be serviced (somewhere in
Europe) or service agreements be reached??

If you need further clarifications, kindly let me know.
