Help-the hills have eyes but no reception!!

RockBadger

Hi.Im currently living in a mobile in the hills while waiting for my house to be built.At present all I have is a portable tv/indoor loop antenna with the 4 Irish channels and the reception at best is rubbish!Just looking for some info from you who know-are those mini dishes from Aldi/Lidl any good and what channels exactly can I expect to see?Thanks lads.

all the info is here lad have a look through the stickies
but the short answer for you,you can pick up a cheap fta box and dish for under €100 and diy setting it up a camping unit might do you or if you have an old sky box all you will need is a dish pointed at astra 28.2
