    It's probably easiest to go the Free-to-air satellite option and an aerial which, assuming the north of you is relatively flat, will get the Irish channels, and weaker UK channels from Kilkeel.

    Freeview from Divis is literally a tall order and I'm pretty sure even with the necessary aerials, you'd still only get half of the channels.

    Check the satellite and foreign satellite forums too.

    Thanks To_be_confirmed,

    I thought freeview was good in the area, that's why i mentioned it.
    Aw well,
    I'll check out a few sat forums now .

    No problem

    I wouldn't be completely certain on freeview reception in the area, but more often than not, people saying they have freeview would mean they have a dish and a set top box like the special offer ones in Lidl/Aldi or the higher end ones like in Maplins or on www.satellite.ie


    Technical stuff: Theoretically reception from Llanddona in Wales could be possible, but I've never heard of actual freeview from Wales being picked up north of Dublin. Also, only 2 muxes would really be an option.
