If you’re handy, it ain’t rocket science.And depending on your location, it could be as simple as plugging an indoor antenna into the back of a <6yr old TVs and retuning.

An indoor antenna would hardly work in Dublin 15 would it?

Why wouldn't it, its not like D15 is under the shadow of some mountain in a remote valley in the west of Ireland.

I’ve an indoor antenna on my tv in the kitchen, it’s a revez one I got from power city for about €25. You plug it in (I believe it may have a small signal amplifier inside) and works perfectly. Located near coolmine.

I tried using an internal antenna (near Blanch Village) and it didn't work. The TV was next to the Chimney so that might have blocked the signal.

We used sat-tech to put in our Saorview aerial and found him good. Now he only have to put up the aerial as all the wiring was already completed so it wasn't the most complicated job. But he lives in Clonee so just by.

Go to power city.
Buy one (get the ‘one for all’ branded amplified offering if you have 25€ spare)
Test it.
If it doesn’t work, repackage and get a refund.
No damage done;)

I was at a wedding of two Saorview installers yesterday, The Church wasn't great but the reception was brilliant! :pac:

Should be fine - place in a window on the side of the house nearest the mountains - Could be wrong but I think thats where the transmitter is.

The Bunny Ears Antennae from an Old Portable TV worked for me for a test - perfect reception but looked ridiculous on a flat screen

I got a nice compact one from fairyhouse market for 15 Euros - seller there sells loads of them.

I got a crowd in who did the whole lot, dish, box and channel setup. We paid a bit more to get both saorview and freeview. I'll pm you on the details.

What were you charged out of interest, and was a single room or multi? Record facility or not?

Think it was about 180 with a dish, box and setup of the channels - done for a single room.

Wouldn’t mind it either too please.

Combo box 60
Dish with LNB 40
Cable 20
Combiners 10
Antenna 20

Ballpark prices above excluding a few other bits and bobs, etc. never mind labour.

Can’t see how 180 is even nearly possible even going the non saorview route.
