Setpal box software upgrade imminent

    I've just found this on digitalspy, posted by James Vertigan, it might be of interest to anyone using a labgear or triax or daewoo setpal box:


    For anyone who has a Setpal Freeview box that's on an old software build, there has been a special slot arranged for you to upgrade your boxes to software build 0157 (the last software update that happened before Novapal (the company that owns the Setpal software) went into administration)....


    It will be broadcast from 10am on Thursday (17th August) through to 9am on Saturday (19th August), so if you've got an old Setpal box hanging around that's not on Build 0157 make sure it's plugged in and switched on, and make sure you can get a good signal of Multiplex 1 (the multiplex that has BBC ONE/TWO etc) and you could give your Setpal a new lease of life!

    Be prepared, it could be your last chance!

    Having missed the last two updates due to no signal being available, I'm hoping to drive down the east coast a bit to see can I pick it up. Can anyone recommend somewhere high enough that's accessible by road? otherwise I'll just have to suck it and see.

    A quick follow up to the above:

    Due to unavoidable circs, I wasn't free until after midnight on friday, so travelling any great distance was out of the question.

    Set up aerial and box in Kilakee car park. i'd hoped that it was shielded from RTE1 at Three Rock, which is same channel as Mux1 from Divis.

    RTE1 ws very strong, so channel 29 was out, but did receive 4 DTT muxes on chs 23 26 34 and 48, albeit quite low sig/quality levels. Raining quite heavily, too. Aerial was four feet above ground level. Analogue signals from Divis were very clear.
