Problems getting free BBC1&2 Dublin

    Hi all,

    I've tried searching and am having problems with getting free to air BBC1 and BBC2 on my TV.

    I live in an aparment block in Dublin 5 that has a sky dish (but I am not subscribed to it). I have a Normende (?spelling TV).

    When I auto search channels for Ireland or UK I only can find RTE 1&2, E3 and a gaelic channel 4. I have no luck getting BBC1 or BBC2. ~For some reason I cant just manually auto search without specifying a country.

    Any suggestions to get BBC1&2? Anyone know the frequencies I can put in manually?

    Thanks
    !

    Are you sure it is not RTÉ One, Two, TV3 and TG4? It would seem that you are receiving the Irish terrestrial channels and not satellite channels.

    You need a Satellite receiver for Free BBC/ITV.

    Only getting RTE1, RTE2, TV3 and TG4 free on a TV without a satellite receiver or cable box is normal.

    Read the stickies & FAQ in this forum http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/forumdisplay.php?f=55. You don't need to subscribe to Sky to use a Sky dish, but you do need a Satellite receiver.

    Love the naming conventions :)
