No saorview signal north facing

dpjmie

Hi Guys,

I live in the northside of dublin facing north out onto the m50. I went to powercity to purchase a small indoor aerial but didnt couldnt recieve any of the stations. The guy in powercity said its cause im facing north.
As its an apartment i cannot put up a satellite or aerial outdoors... Has anyone had the same problems and is there a really good indoor aerial (nice looking of course) which will solve the problem?

Cheers

He's probably correct, most likely your recommended Saorview transmitter is Kippure to the south/south-west. The signal is probably too weak in the apartment to work with your indoor aerial, an outdoor aerial pointing south is most likely required.

Thanks very much for the reply. I guess I'll go to the management company and ask them about a saorsat feed from the roof

or a shared aerial, might be the cheaper option.

Indoor aerials only work properly for around 5% of people. You are one of the 95%.
