    I will buy a real aerial this week to see if this resolves my reception problems. It would be handy for analogue anyway.

    I am able to gel UK and Eire DTT
    RTE1 is 801
    RTE2 is 802
    TV3 is 803
    TG4 is 804

    I get the same on the PS3s Play TV. Time is showing as one hour behind even though UK is selected as region.

    In any case just RTE2 showing a picture along with full EPG data and all radio stations fine.

    Edit: Woodcock Hill

    Thanks Mossy

    Is it possible though that some people pointing to Meaghara would get the tests while others in a different location, pointing to Meaghara also wouldnt?

    RTE2 is on in Limerick from Woodcock Hill. But during the Galway Races yesterday the aspect was slightly off. It was like 14:9 vertically stretched to 16:9. (The RTE TWO logo touching the top of the screen) I don't know if that was everywhere, or maybe just for that programme?

    I will simplify it.

    These DTT broadcasts are tests
    I currently receive no channels from my local transmitter but I have in the past.

    I fully understand Mossys post.

    My question is can 2 people pointing to the same feed, in this case Meaghara, get different DTT results. So one person get the DTT test service, which is now rte1 and rte2 running and the other does not.

    I brought my tv to one of the lads house who also points to Meaghara and i was able to tune in the DTT tests fine. However, when i try at my own house i dont get anything, also pointing to Meaghara.

    The signal power could be lower than before and your friend might have better reception for what ever reason (better aerial, cabling, amplifier etc). If he can get it from Maghera then they are still broadcasting. But are you sure he is getting from Maghera and not Cairn Hill, Truskmore or even Woodcock Hill depending (on where he is).

    It would depend on your signal strength

    RTÉ1 also back on Mullaghanish but signal much weaker now with pixalation on RTÉ1 & RTÉ2 and the testcard on TV3, TG4 and RTÉNL Test Channel, Keep an eye on RTÉ2 as I'd swear during one ad break before the pixalation seemed to kick in it was showing in High def. A severely wet day here in Kerry may not be helping my signal either.

    RTE 1 & 2 on digital back here today in Glasnevin. I wonder if there is a bias against the local competition in the transmission company (RTEnl) its in the name! No TV3 or TG4 yet

    Look back on the reception reports from previous in this forum. TV3 seems to be the channel off-air far more frequently than any of the other 3........

    It's nice to see RTE1 and RTE2 back in perfect digital.

    Couldn't care less about TV3 or TG4 to be honest.

    3 Rock signal strength increased ~20%
    No probs locking the radio stations but DTT etc cannot lock.
    Need a stronger signal.......
    Analogue signals from 3 Rock appear to have been massively increased in strength.

    Woodcock Hill also has RTE1 & 2 back. Regarding an earlier post on the EPG time, its accurate for me here with a Sony Bravia.

    Only reliably when the service launches. There is no launch date yet.

    There is NO PUBLIC SERVICE. This is only an installation / engineering test phase.

    All signal lost by me from Mullaghanish, All TV and radio gone, perhaps they are migrating the equipment from the old to new antennae.
