    I know that their analogue system is due to be shut off soon,
    But can anyone tell me where abouts their transmitter is in the Ballincollig (cork) area ?

    Would the info not be in their licence docuuments on the ODTR/Comreg website ?

    Probably listed as either a grid ref (how quaint) or Lat/Lon coordinates

    They also list the rural townland (how even quainter) the TX is located in although this usually only means anything to a handful of people who can probably see it from their bedroom window anyway.

    Most of the channels SCTV charge for are free on Satellite. Their system is 12GHz MMDS using a sat dish & sat receiver.

    Why not get Freesat. Better quality, more reliable, more channels and free.

    i have freesat, (well i had two working box's. now only 1)


    I was just gonna fiddle around with an antenna some evening, and was curious as to where the transmitter was.


    I'm pretty sure that crookstown doesnt have an CTV antenna, i think their is a Chorus mmds antennna near crookstown alright
