    What are supposed to be looking for?

    The skinnier mast looks like it might have UHF TV aerials in a Housing on the tip.

    It has a lot of Mobile phone aerials and Microwave links.

    on Google Earth it looks like there is only one mast

    144855.png

    Single Mast shadow.

    Definitely two on photo

    Yes, the concrete base on fatter mast is fresher looking, not covered in Litchen, Algae, Goo etc.

    Watty, no detail for Crosshaven Co. Cork on your list - Saorview is on air from there on Ch46 (674MHz) and Vertical.


    Also what is listed as "Ferrypoint" - Monatrea, Co. Waterford is on air - its on Ch47 (682MHz) and Vertical. It mainly covers Youghal area, Co. Cork (across the water from it).

    (Ferrypoint isn't the most accurate name - that place is almost at sea level !, the transmitter is on nearby high ground)

    The are no corrections other than adding channels.

    The Brochure has coverage maps and only channel list for one Mux.

    I find it strange that Knockanore/Cnoc An Óir made it into the final list. There's no analogue (currently FM only, went live around '98/99) from that site so no current UHF aerials would be pointed towards it. But I suppose it would have the potential to replace smaller relays such as Listowel and maybe Abbeyfeale.

    I see that two of the TX sites (Dooncarton and Bantry) are listed as H&V polarisation. Bit unusual for television, no? Or is it that it's V in one direction and H in another?


  • #115
    watty
    Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 32,417 ✭✭✭✭watty


    H & V in different directions isn't too uncommon,

    But if in the same direction it is slant -45 or +45, if the H & V are in phase, and it's circular Left hand or right hand if there is 90 phase difference (which is lagging sets the "handedness". So I guess it's different directions.

    Normally only Mobile applications need Slant or Circular Polarisation.

    I'd say there's some here who would be happy with the removal of the Navan and Drogheda relays, since the channel plan for both was co-channel with Divis.


  • #119
    lucernarian
    Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,235 ✭✭✭lucernarian


    Navan was co-channel with Brougher Mountain, depending on what channels were used by Navan out of 22, 25, 28 and 32. Navan was allocated another 4 I think, but like 30 and 34 for Mt. Leinster, those extra 4 channels were not to be used in the near future. I don't know what site was proposed for the Navan relay. I would have said that the likes of the Arklow relay wasn't very necessary barring the fiasco with frequency planning along the southeast coast.

    Out of the two Drogheda was probably more necessary due to the local topography and population densities (quite a lot more apartments in poor reception areas in Drog) but the frequency allocation would result in Freeview reception difficulties. Not as bad as what happened with Mt. Leinster/Preseli at least.

    Ah ok, I stand corrected so!

    As I'm in Listowel at the moment I was looking at the situation here. Despite having LOS to Knockanore the coverage checker is recommending Knockmoyle instead (I know Knockanore is not online yet but it is being recommended for other parts such as in the town itself). Plus I can also get Mullaghanish and Maghera here, leaving me with 4 potential sites, a far cry from analogue where only Mullaghanish VHF can be received without snow and it's ghosted.

    Setting up a combo box for a friend of the family on Monday, will be curious to see how that goes.

    These frequencies are reserved for extra services. If pay DTT ever took off these would be used for the extra channels. Under current plans only two of the four channels are expected to be used but the extra space is there if required. Come ASO, two more channels will be released, bringing the total up to six.

    With digital no

    With analogue possibly

    There is also the possibility of the signal from a main site being more reliable i.e. in the event of a breakdown its likely to be fixed quicker as more people are affected.

    RTE NL have a completely new monitoring system for all DTT sites.

    Analogue from many rebroadcast transposer relays is/was poorer than main sites. Analogue Woodcock improved when switched from Maghera Transposer type relay to being a fibre fed site.

    All DTT sites are IDENTICAL quality, other than power output.

    Also Dooncarton Belmullet, Mayo and Kinsale Co Cork. 10 sites remaining.

    The RTÉNL coverage map is indicating very little coverage from the Dooncarton transmitter, maybe running on low power until launch?

    Monaghan could be in the next batch, reported testing on Ch 55V last week, although the plan is H polarisation (could be a typo in the post).

    [edit Dooncarton and Kinsale now updated!]

    Good news for those in Portstewart/Portrush etc who will now get TV3 for the first time.

    Kilkeaveragh is online at the moment. I don't know if that means it's "officially" online but it is broadcasting Saorview channels.

    Not officially online yet but should be soon if you're already receiving Saorview from there. Could it be Maamclassach 46V?

    Not sure. How could I check this?
    However I'd say it is Kilkeveragh as I had some email exchange with RTENL in mid March and they said at the time that Digital widescreen transmissions were expected to commence from the Kilkeaveragh relay over "the next couple of weeks". So that would have made it late March/start of April.

    Dunno if this is of use but Transponder Frequency is 682000 MHz and Network Id is 8564.
    Having said that I first got the signal in early April and then it went down for a week but seems to be back up now.

    682 is Ch47 and I doubt you are getting Woodcock hill (Ch47) so maybe it will be "official" shortly

    Also Dooncarton Belmullet, Mayo and Kinsale Co Cork. 10 sites remaining.

    The RTÉNL coverage map is indicating very little coverage from the Dooncarton transmitter, maybe running on low power until launch?

    The coverage checker has been updated, now showing full coverage for the Dooncarton transmitter,

    The attached (jpg) was published in the Evening Echo last Friday (15th April), regarding Kinsale. RTE spokesperson apologised about the lack of information about the disruption to the existing analogue TV/radio from Kinsale transposer during the DTT install the previous week.

    PS
    Further press coverage in the southern Star below:http://www.southernstar.ie/localnotes.php?issue=2011-04-16
    TV problems
    Kinsale TV viewers were deprived of the signal from RTE 1 and 2 as well as TG4 and all of the RTE radio stations for much of last week as the local transmitter was being upgraded as part of the Saorview programme which will see the end of the existing analogue system. While it is understandable that the work has to be done the lack of warning was inexcusable and many people spent a lot of time trying to contact local TV installers. RTE claimed that it had issued a press release to the local radio and the press as well as putting up notices in shops but none of these could be found by irate viewers and even the local TV shop Curtin’s had not been informed about the lack of service. When contacted about the lack of communication, Mike Connolly, head of the relevant RTE section apologised for the lack of information and had the service restored on Thursday evening, a day earlier than planned. This new system will mean that everyone will have to purchase a new set top box to be able to view the RTE stations, price unknown at the moment.

    Watty, it seems that Kilduff is live (but probably only testing) cos got DTT on channel 52 at my parents address at the weekend. After all my questions here a while ago used a new UHF aerial on the roof. The old one wouldn't work so must be a wrong band. Pointed at Mt. Leinster hoping to get it but when i checked the frequency later realised it was channel 52. Aeriel isn't even pointed at Kilduff yet!
