Saorview disruption since change in March

    Hi all,

    Just asking if anyone can tell me my options here...

    I moved into a house with an over-elaborate aeriel setup...
    In South Dublin and it's pointing North, possibly NI direction to pick up UK channels.

    As you can see, something I only noticed yesterday, the top aerial has broken off :(
    So I need to get this attended to.

    Since this saorview change, I have retuned and it's only picking up 6 channels - including RTE1, RTE1+1, RTE2+1 but reception is unreliable.

    Do I simply need to point my aeriel back to somewhere more sensible like Three rock? Or do I need different polarity/setup

    Yeah, I'd forget about Freeview reception now. If the 2nd aerial from the top isn't also ready to fall apart, it would more than likely do for Three Rock or Kippure (but horizontal pol.), & get rid of everything else.

    Nice one, good to know I can just change the polarity of the existing aerial.
