    Does anyone get very good reception on all irish tv channels?

    I've often wondered if it was just my house that got crap reception :o

    The house I'm living in in Dublin has really shít reception. If any one stands too close to the tv it gets worse.

    TV3 has a poor reception, but the others are fine.

    My TV is full of lizards.

    I got on to NTL and asked them why they were sending me lizards and they just told me to sweep them up.

    Maybe that is what the L in NTL stands for.

    *runs off to conspiracy theories*

    On NTL too, crap reception on TV3, bad on Ch6 and E4 and iffy on most other channels at times.

    Rubbish reception from rabbit ears type aerials, perfect picture from big roof-mounted aerial.

    We had a very fuzzy TV3 and no reception for TG4, so we got sky and now its all good.
    Of course now I don't watch the Irish channels.

    All are great except for TV3 which isn't carried on my local transmitter. But I have Sky and cable so never use a television aerial.
