:mad: Hope someone can help. In Wicklow town area and intermittently got the Freeview channels. Currently getting Irish DTT on 738 and 794 but no Freeview.

Still getting the UK analog signals (thought this was to be switched off yesterday). Any pointers would be welcomed.

Hello, can you confirm the following please:

1. Are you getting Channel 5 on your aerial pointing to Wales?
2. Have you lost BBC2 in the last few days?

If the answer is no to both then you are not picking up Preseli and most likely are using the Arfon transmitter. It outputs on Ch. 41, 44, 47 and 51 presently.

Digital switchover doesn't start at this site until October 21st completing on November 18th. After which the BBC A mux will broadcast on Ch. 41, C3&4 on Ch. 44 and BBC B on Ch. 47.

Not sure how these channels co-channel with Mount Leinster.

You could always swing your aerial around a bit and try Preseli in the meantime - it is possibly worth it?
