Lost channels? Look here for transmitter/reception issues

similar challenge here on RTE1..
one aerial in attic with single feed to TV.
Samsung TV direct picks up all channels.
TV passthrough from Formuler F1 gets all channels.
Full scan on Formuler F1 either on Maghera or Tonabrocky cannot pick up RTE1.. Others are fine, signal shows 100% SNR, 321.1

is it simply signal strength? any pointers?

Fine on passthrough. Too much signal!!!!

Turn down you masthead amp.

Anyway Setup, Tuner, Signal Finder. Change the tuner to dvb-t. And go between the 2 mux frequencies for 48 and 55. If its coming in full whack pressing okay will scan them in.

Thanks. Did the trick.

We've had good reception of a lot of the UK channels here for quite a while now. However over the past few months, they're glitching out. I'm in Louth so I'm assuming I'm getting my Saorview from Clermont Carn and NI TV from Divis (Rostrevor?). I'm wondering if it's from something Saorview did, or perhaps it's some 4G interference - it definitely looks like interference. I have the same old antenna that I used for analog (flat, with 4 crossed wires in front of a mesh screen) - should I upgrade that, perhaps to one of those 32-element high gain ones?

It's likely to be some problem with your aerial. When you had a perfect picture, the signal could still have been just about enough, and a small reduction would cause problems.

You should be able to see the signal strength on some menu. Also the channel numbers / frequencies, which will identify the transmitter site. I can get both Divis and Camlough in Dundalk, but Rostrevor would be very unlikely.

Change Divis to Camlough on this site to see the listings for both.

Thanks for that. It's interesting that I used to be able to get all the channels on Divis but now all I can get are those on Camlough, and they glitch. I think I need to have a chat with a TV guy!

Maghera off the air? No TV or radio since 7:30 pm

Yeah seems so. No signal from Maghera here in Shannon.

Maghera, Castlebar and Tonabrucky all off air this eve. These latter two are fed from Maghera. Cairn Hill and Truskmore unaffected. I can receive all 5 at my location. Kilduff also gets in but ch. 56 is swamped by the strong signal from Maghera on ch. 55. I would imagine the thunder storms in the area led to the outage.

Still getting lots of errors in the stream here.
Not playing.

On the east coast we get RTE from Forth Mt, and UK channels from Wales We're used to RTE1 vanishing and BBC1 appearing in its place but now all the BBC radio and TV channels have gone. I've done an auto retune and ITV and junk channels are back, but nothing from BBC. Just atmospherics in this good weather?

I get my channels from Preseli and nothing has changed here but interestingly I get RTE channels etc from Mt Leinster and have the same problem as you but in reverse -- all channels from Mt Leinster disappear.
Then as if by magic they all return again. Today the signal bar says "good" whereas it normally says "excellent" --- my aerial isn't a spectacular one and could be mounted in a better position but hey "It's only TV " !!

Regards

Was watching RTÉ 2 and tv just went blank - around 8.45pm all Saorview channels gone - crosshaven mast

Since when did BBC 3 disappear, I'm full sure I was watching it lately in fact I am 100% sure I had that channel up till very recently, but now its gone, but according to their wiki page it went dark 2 years ago.

This is a Terrestrial thread/section

Yep gone for some considerable time from Satellite ...... now on line only.

So you are mistaken .... unless you were watching on line or watching a recording.

Check for maintenance downtime?

I found this but should have been sorted when I scanned yesterday, Ill try later on again,
Due to essential maintenance, our Kippure transmitter will be subject to an outage totalling 8 hours between 08:00 and 17:00 over 8th & 9th August 2018. The relay transmitter at Laragh will also be affected.
