    Sounds like you have the satellite cable connected but no terrestrial aerial.

    Were you using that to get RTE before you got the new box?

    You can also plug it directly into the TV and tune in the terrestrial channels if you are getting a good enough signal.

    Must be picking up satellite signals. Aerial reception of bbc in Galway ?

    Are you tuning correctly usually a separate search for terrestrial channels and sat channels?
