Cool.. Thanks

I thought anything over ch60 was off limits, due to reallocation of freq for mobile's etc

DTT is being rolled out under the existing plan, a revised plan is being developed by ComReg, the BAI and RTE including Ofcom where necessary.

Blank screen for me too, both Mullaghanish and Woodcock Hill. The clicking noise is only there when I enter the guide otherwise I get "Selected programme is not tuned" on my Sony V4500.

Yes, same up here too at Clermont Carn with a Sony W4000 and also a V4500. Are those who were getting pictures (jobyrne30) on this channel still getting them with their model of TV I wonder? I suppose as its a test some TV's are getting a picture and others are not.

Could it be that only Dublin TVs are getting a picture at the moment, as the test card has 'Baille Ath Cliath' across it?

Perhaps they are testing regional feeds.

Hi folks ,

I'm based in Athy near the Kildare/Carlow border. I got that test card from Mount Leinster in Carlow. I was receiving the test card on my Mediaportal HTPC at the time I posted in the other thread. I was also getting an EPG entry

At the moment I'm getting no picture or sound but the 7 day EPG data is still there and updating.

I checked it on an LG 26" TV last night that gets Saorview in south Donegal - the LG just states that there is "No Signal" but does list the station on its list of channels. No clicking or any other sounds.

I'm receiving that same "RTENL Ath Cliath" test card http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=65735577&postcount=651 at the moment from Mount Leinster tuned in on 666000Khz frequency. Anybody else getting it ?

I'm getting it from Three Rock, I'd assume it's on everywhere. The clicking is a sync test judging by the card.

All four allocated mux's from Mullaghanish ( 21,24,25,28 ) are currently fired up. 21 and 24 are broadcasting the 6 tv and 4 radio channels and 25 and 28 are live with just blank carriers.

All there, interesting is that my z81 pana won't tune in the c24 channels as they are already tuned in on c21!

On my Sony if I do an auto scan I only get one set of channels however if I do a manual scan of Ch 24 I get those channels added to the epg also and likewise with Ch 47 Woodcock Hill.

I recorded the Testcards using DVB viewer on my USB DVB-T stick earlier and uploaded them to Youtube.

I wonder when will we see RTÉ doing any HD tests? I remember they did a few two or three years ago when they gave out the free receivers in Dublin, but I wonder would we see anything like that on the regional transmitters.

bit surprised at this, but i'm picking up Mullaghanish DTT with an indoor powered aerial(two of them actually, both working fine), and i'm up in Killaloe/Ballina, on the clare tipp border.

thought initially it was maghera, turns out it's channel 21, which is mullaghanish. I don't get anything from Maghera or Woodcock, both of which are significantly closer.

no nanlog signals, but i bought a class c/d aerial thinking it was maghera i was picking up but will need to get a class A now for Mullaghanish, and can use the C/D for a repeater we have over the town whichw as for the old analog signals as the signal is so poor in the town

Mulla really pumping it out on ch21 just a small unpowered log periodic sitting on fire place 100% sig and quality old head of kinsale all channels perfect.

given woodcock and maghera rare only 20km from me,mullaghanish is 105km, and i can't pick up maghera or woodcock and have mullaghanish dtt working fine, it does point at them having a pretty strong signal.
