Saorview - Having partial signal loss from Three Rock

I did lose RTÉ2 HD on Saorview from Three Rock transmitter due to having rain outside the house. It was displaying a 2% signal with 0% quality earlier.

It is back on now but it has a 97% signal & 100% quality although the picture freezes on it from time to time.

RTÉ One HD is working fine on it's Mux though.

I have the reverse problem today, also Three Rock. I lost RTE1 TV off my indoor aerial signal and have most of the rest, including radio. Did a auto scan but no joy.

Went through the manual tuning menus on the TV and it says that I have channel 30 at >90% signal quality but no channel 33 - 0% signal.

I noticed the signal percentage on Saorview does vary between every channel on either mux when it rained yesterday. It probably happened when it did your rescan today. The bad weather must have played a part with some minor interference on Saorview's reception for the last two days.

I seriously doubt the weather has anything to do with it. It was perfectly dry and mild this afternoon when I did a scan and it found nothing on ch. 33.

The Three Rock Saorview MUXs are virtually next door to each other on the UHF spectrum - ch. 30 on 546 MHz and ch. 33 on 570 MHz, both Group A so anything that interferes with one should affect the other yet I'm getting >90% signal quality on ch. 30 but nothing (0%) on ch.33.

Why do you say that? They are 3 channels apart, one could easily have interference without the other.
