    They switched off analogue in Cork, I assume this includes radio.

    UPC will, call them.

    They say that Cork is only digital now. Take from that what you will.

    Yes the FM radio stations that were on Cork cable is gone.

    The only analogue signals on Cork cable now are the 4 Irish terrestial TV stations - all in Band III:

    RTE1 : 176MHz
    RTE2 : 216MHz
    TV3: 200 MHz
    TG4: 192MHz

    Everything else is only available through the digital set-top box.

    More than likely ingress from an outside signal.

    FM on cable was a nice feature, it's a shame it's gone really although so few people actually used it I can sort of see why the cable companies are switching it off.

    Neither Chorus nor NTL actually even advertised that the service existed!
