I Tried scanning for DTT yesterday for the first time (DVB-T card in my PC).

I can get TV3 and TG4 From Mount Leinster with a roof mounted UHF ariel so I was curious to see if DTT was available (Laois Kilkenny border).

I could not get anything, so I hope it is down !! otherwise no DTT for me.

Mount Leinster is/has been rock solid for me, I've never recall having problems with reception other than when I was messing around. I'm using a Televes Dat 75 mounted in the loft feeding 3 Windows XP Mediapotal HTPC's

SAA713x is analogue. Not DTT.

If it does satellite, that is DVB-S, not DTT. Maybe the card doesn't do DTT
it's under €30 inc post for a dual tuner

The manual for the PC says it does

Analog
DVB-T
DVB-S

I can confirm Analog and Satellite work

ALDI/LIDL PC's use Creatix Tuners cards, larsta most likely has a CTX948 in his/her PC which does do DVT-S/T and analogue - http://www.creatix.com/produkte/multimedia/datenblatt/CTX948%20V1%20Specification.pdf

@ larsta the frequency used by Mount Leinster is 666000 kHz. Are you using Window7 or Vista Media centre, can you enter in the frequency manually ?

If you are getting TV3 and TG4 analogue you should get DTT.

Our DTT is up and down like a yo-yo - no quality problems when its on, just seems to lose signal every couple of days. Tried retuning to see if it would pick up on a different channel but it didn't - paused on (I think) channel 22 but found all stations on Ch 45. Was watching the news this evening and it just went.

I haven't had a signal from Mt Leinster since the before weekend but then I don't always use the DTT signal.

I've just checked and it is back for the moment.

The signal is flucuating for me aswell. I use an indoor aerial so just moved it slightly to improve the signal and stop the picture break up.

up and down like a whore's drawers on the wexford/kilkenny border for the last couple of weeks.

Is anyone having issues with DTT from Mt Leinster today? I'm getting nothing at the moment - my location South Leinster.

Was fine for me last night in New Ross but is very broken up this evening - unwatchable. :mad:

No signal in Nth Wexford again for Irish radio/tv.This happens occasionally on Saorview when Wales Freeview is fine.RTE1/2 only on old terrestrial.

Ronnie Raygun

See here: http://www.rte.ie/aertel/169-06.html

No Saorview or UHF analogue during the hours specified.
