Videos That Show Proof DAB Radio Still Works In Ireland

On YouTube I've found 3 videos where people have received the UK DAB radio stations from different locations along the East Coast.

1. Northern Ireland received in Dundalk on 16/09/2020 which seems very likely been next to the border.

2. Cornwall received in Wexford with their local Pirate FM which survived the Greatest Hits take over last year although it says an uplift.

3. Lancashire and Liverpool received in Dublin which looks impossible.

I don't think anyone had said they wouldn't (if possible to receive a UK transmission etc)

Bear in mind what is stated for videos 2 and 3 is just an occasional reception due to atmospheric conditions. This would have been known about for many decades before DAB existed, Band III VHF could sometimes travel far along long sea paths. DXers have very occasionally received Norway DAB transmissions on the east coast of England facing Norway which is much more of a distance.
(you link to wrong video for 3)

Video 1, near the border would be a consistent reception but I believe using an outdoor Band III aerial.

Most of the NI stuff is what I call "Window sill Quality" in Louth, definately not receivable inside a house - but good on car radios, especially in parts of Dundalk
