    From what I can see, it seems to say Horizontal polarisation regardless of transmitter, it shows horizontal for Maamclassach, Knockmoyle and Cnoc an Oir also but they're all vertical.

    As it's so new, I think a template must've been used where they missed updating that bit. In the 'grid' it says vertical.

    It also says Beta version on the page, needs finishing by the look of it.
    RTE version is not 100% accurate on coverage prediction.

    The Saorview coverage checker says "we're sorry..........challenge in your area"
    ATM my TV is giving 100% on quality & strength from Maghera. Goes to prove that the online checker can't be treated as gospel.

    Indeed, I adjusted an aerial for a man in an area like yours and got the same result, perfect reception!
    By the way, Machinehead are you a fan of Deep Purple and Pink Floyd by any chance?

    A challenge doesnt mean every house and thats why there refer at the bottom to contacting a local enginner, I checked myself with Kilbane and surrounding areas, I have a soarview install out there on Weds...the area so surrounded by hills blocking Maghrera analogue signal so will see what happens weds...
