This thread here has some info despite it being somewhat dated http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=187478

Looks like a very strong aerial is required with probably some amplification. Remember at DSO in 2 years Divis (main transmitter for DTT In NI) will be juiced up considerably so if you're willing to be patient you'll not need to spend so much money as you might now to get a decent picture. Freesat (no subscription) should guarantee crystal clear pictures and might be a viable alternative as it covers most of the channels on Freeview ( exceptions e.g. Fiver and its associates) and some that aren't on Freeview.
