Trying to get DTT trial on V-Gear MobiDTV USB Stick in Santry

Richie Blackmor

Have just set up a V-Gear MobiDTV USB stick today and done a scan with both the tiny antenna that it comes with and a rooftop antenna. It finds 11 encrypted and, with ProgDVB, 8 DVB-H channels but not the four free channels. Are they off-air today perhaps?

Can anyone determine which frequency the 'free' channels are on? The channels I can receive are:

770 MHz
Channel 6
cBeebies Test
BBC 4 Test
Sky News
Extreme Sports

794 MHz
cBBC Test
BBC 3 Test
BBC News24 Test
Sky Sports 1
UK TV History
MPEG 4 Test

514 MHz
DVB-H

Here's what I've been able to find out so far

Free channels at 738 MHz via Three Rock and 730 MHz via Clermont Carn.

Thanks maxg for the pointer. Ifigured out how to do manual scans of individual frequencies and managed to get the 'free' channels and radio channels from 730 MHz Clermont Carn! Not a sausage from 738 MHz Three Rock! Strange huh? Anyway, I updated my channel data file with all that 'useful' info
Manually scanning in ProgDVB I get the following:

Freq. Quality Channels
730MHz 64% 4 free TV and 6 Radio
762MHz 64%
770MHz 84% 5 TV Chs. (encrypted)
786MHz 64%
794MHz 84% 6 TV Chs. (encrypted)
818MHz 76%

The quality figure in ProgDVB is only a very rough guidline. Is there a comprehensive list of Channel Numbers and Frequencies? I would like to know where those others are originating.
