Lost channels? Look here for transmitter/reception issues

A number of transmitters will have breaks to radio signals starting 30 April. The Fermoy one says 30 May, which must be a typo.

Check out this old thread — how do you split your aerial into 2 rooms ?

Do you use a distribution system or simply a splitter?

Turns out the person my parents got to fit the aerial was a cowboy. He just twisted the three cables around each other and wrapped them in electrical tape.

Got a proper splitter today and put it in a waterproof box. 80% signal on both TV's!

Look in the Satellite forum. Thread there about Rewind TV, which is on the same transponder as the Now channels.

Sky Arts has moved from 12070H to 12148H on HD devices.
On SD devices it has been removed as 12148H is a DVB-S2 mux.

It doesn't look like there's any transmitter issues from the 2rn website.

For Forth Mountain, mux1 is on ch33 and mux2 is on ch36.

Are you in any of the areas of interference on the left of the transmitter map? Suir Valley transmits on the same frequencies, and ch36 is at the top end of a group A aerial, if that's what you have.

Are all the neighbours aerials in the same direction, or are any of them using Mount Leinster instead?

The link won't stay current. Work on big transmitters Mullaghanish and Maghera in the wee small hours. Small transmitters during the day. And ongoing work on Truskmore affecting radio.

Due to essential engineering work, our Mullaghanish transmitter will be subject to an outage of up to 7 hours 30 minutes between 22:30 Tuesday 3rd and 06:00 Wednesday 4th September 2024. This work will affect all Saorview services from this transmitter site. 2rn apologise for any inconvenience caused by this necessary work.

Due to essential engineering work, our Maghera transmitter will be subject to an outage of up to 6 hours between 00:05 and 06:00 on Thursday 5th September 2024. This work will affect Saorview services from this transmitter site. 2rn apologise for any inconvenience caused by this necessary work.

ITV3 in HD? I thought that was only in SD.

Worded as ITV3HD alright.

Found it , thanks

I expect UTV, ITV 4 and ITV Be old frequency will be switched off soon too, new frequency 11386 V 27500 has been active since late August

And France 24 to 11426 V 29500

Yes

Seem to have lost pretty much all my channels (antenna). Started little over a week ago where the signal started getting pretty choppy. Thought it was the weather which was unusual in itself as never happened before and the weather wasn't that bad, but just kept getting worse even during the day. Tried retuning all the channels but even though they're mostly all listed, pretty much nothing coming through on them.

I just ran a check on my TV and it says Signal Strength 100%, but Signal Quality 0%.

Haven't changed anything myself which would have caused it. Is it likely to be the aerial outside just giving up the ghost?

Also, I've checked another TV at another TV point so I've ruled out issues with the TV or that socket. Antenna approx. 20 years old.
