Saorview Reception in Sligo Town

dingding

Tried on the Sligo Forum and it was suggested I post here.

I am trying to connect to Saorview with an indoor amplified aerial and a LG television.

Not having any luck with this.

I can clearly see the truskmore transmitter from my house.

Any tips.

Have you done a retune on the TV and selected digital (rather than analog) if it's offered? How old is the TV?

Yes, it is a 2-3 year old LG TV with WEb OS. I set to for Digital, both cable and teresterial. It is set up as a UK TV in the settings for the apps.

Is its set to UK it might be placing the Saorview channels in the 800's

Truskmore transmit tv on channels 42 and 45.

You could try doing a manual tune on those numbers.

On my LG you go to Settings > All Settings > Programmes > Tuning > Manual Tuning > Antenna DTV > ( choose either 42, or 45)

At that stage I have both a signal strength and quality scale . You could try adjusting your aerial at this stage before you do the actual tune.

Let us know how you get on.

Amplifiers on indoor aerials are a waste of time, money, and electricity. They just make the received noise louder noise.

Get an outdoor aerial installed as the broadcasters recommend.
