The Transmitters are in a box or building on the ground

Some pictures of (and from) the "Ferrypoint" fill-in DTV and analog television retransmission site on the edge of Co. Waterford - Monatrea area (across water is Youghal Co. Cork). RTE introduced the site for analogue TV sometime in the mid-1990s.
These pictures taken last summer.

Picture of Clermont Carn taken in Autumn 2008. Top stack is the analogue UHF section, below it is the DTT stack facing southwest. I'd guess some sort of upgrade will be done (is ongoing maybe?) to remove the northward restrictions on DTT output post ASO this October.

Could they not just switch the DTT over to the old analogue panels at ASO?

Attached picture of this post is of Fermoy Co. Cork Saorview DTT (and analogue TV RTE1,2,TG4 and also FM radio for RTE stations and Newstalk)
This picture taken last year, though don't think much has changed since then.

Also visible on streetview:

Sorry Andy and that's what I originally credited to you in that thread at the time but then subsequently saw them on Sean's FB page and assumed they were taken by Sean!

In the meantime this is a very interesting video from our partners VT.

If I'm over in Wales during the summer, ill take a few hours to detour to Preseli, it doesn't seem too far from Fishguard. Over the years, we're after pointing a fair few aerials towards it!

Jaysus, I wonder can they sqeeze any more antennae on that mast! It's safe to say that it serves more than 1 purpose

God, it's hard to say.

It must've been very foggy when you took the picture because I can't see it :pac:

Still, I'm saying Maghera! Do I win?

Here's a few pictures taken earlier this year of the Tonabrocky site on the north-western outskirts of Galway city, transmitting the current Saorview MUX on UHFCh 26 (514MHz) vertical. It's on a upc mast (which has a number of other users as well as mmds transmit at the very top). The UHF DTT transmit is the typical UHF panels.
(BTW, this site was never used by RTE for analogue TV)

Glanmire Co. Cork DTT (and ex-Analogue) TV relay recent pictures below:
The site is at the back of the Glashaboy waterworks

This is on UHF Ch47 (682MHz) Horizontal for the current single Saorview MUX

BTW the 2 vertical rods at the top are collinear aerials for the Tetra network.
, and notice the green grime on the UHF TV transmit panels in the second picture!

European DVB-T interactive Maps Including coordinates and Google Earth/Terrain/Satellite.

Here RTE entries http://www.dvbtmap.eu/transmitterlist.html?offset=1

Not too sure how accurate it is, but it does have google earth functionality.
