Saorview box

It depends on the Freeview box, is it Freeview HD? Are you able to tune in Freeview channels? RTÉ ONE and 2 only air on Saorview in HD.

It also depends on where you are for Rabbit Ears, I know I can pick up them up in Dublin, but in Westmeath I think I would need an outdoor aerial.

you need a better aerial, preferably outdoor.

No receiver will make up for a useless aerial.

If your able to pick up a few of the channels the saorview box won't fix the problem of reception.

RTÉ ONE and VMTV THREE are possible on one mux

RTÉ 2 and VMTV one on another mux

Your picking up both muxes up via the Freeview box when you move your aerial meaning that the problem is not the box but the signal.

I have been able to get all Saorview channels on an Aerial in an upstairs bedroom, I have got it right at the moment but if the aerial moves it will kill one of either of the muxs for me.

As suggested either an outdoor aerial or an amplified indoor one.

I have an attic aerial which has no problems, but it depends on if your living in a house or an apartment, also depends on how far you are from your nearest transmitter.
