    My sister has just moved into a new house in south Kilkenny (Mooncoin area I think) and she's asked me to install an aerial to recieve the 'extra' channels that are available via a local defletor system I presume.

    Anyone fimilar with the channel set up of the area, it would be really useful if I could finsd out what UHF groups these channels are available on and I could bring the correct gear.

    cheers

    would Dunmore East be available. i am able to pick it up in Dungarvan which i'd imagine is further away than Moocoin. they give Channel 4 rather than S4C

    I live in Mooncoin! I'm afraid your sister is out of luck. It's NTL or Sky. The deflectors went years ago.

    I thought deflectors were legalised

    Dunno the geography of the area but you could try for the Comeragh deflector in Co.Waterford 69/61/66/64 Vertical or even a direct signal for Wales

    Failing that an FTV satellite system is your best option

    i take it that Dunmore East isnt available then as that is still broadcasting
    channels are IIRC
    48 - BBC2
    55 - ITV
    65 - BBC1
    69 - Channel 4

    They were, but they don't operate everywhere they used to before they were temporarily stopped.

    It may still be worth a try. I know I can't get it here, but an aunt who lives a few miles away up on a hill can get some reception, but it is quite bad. They got sick of it and got Sky in the end. IIRC, BBC2 and S4C were pretty much unwatchable. The other 2 were little more than watchable. I think it may have been Dunmore they got it from.

    how long ago is this as S4C has been replaced by C4 for quite some time

    ER, yeah, C4, not S4C. I was just used to it being S4C on terrestrial from the days when I had it. And of course it was ITV1 instead of HTV. Her house is the only place I've ever actually seen ITV1 because it's UTV on NTL.
