UHF Aerial Groups

Dermondo

Hi all, i'm located in the Wexford, Wellingtonbridge to be precise, I have an existing UHF aerial which i'm using for the analogue at the moment which has a red tip at the end, assuming this is a group A aerial and all fine here.

So after a bit of investigating and trials at home regarding the DTT service, which receiption wise is poor, blocky pic. etc., would I be right to assume I need to replace the aerial with a group B version as indicated here http://www.tvtrade.ie/yellow-group-b-uhf-aerial.html, hope its ok to post link by the way, and this will give a better receiption.

Many thanks in advance.

What channel number is the DTT on?

I think you will be Forth Mountain
52V and was testing on 56V.
I use a wideband aerial and a signal booster.

I used this link to help http://coverage.rtenl.ie/RTENLcoveragechecker.php
but as you suggest maybe I shoud be pointing to a different transmitter

Ye, the coverage checker is showing up as Forth Mountain. At the moment your using Mth Lenister on 45.
Might be worth trying Forth (you will have to rotate the aerial to vertical)
