Woodcock Hill Mux 2 down still.

SPAWKER · 16-07-2011 08:46PM

Mux 2 Ch.57 still down from Claremont Cairn

foxire · 16-07-2011 11:34PM

Getting Mux 2 from Cairn Hill Channel 44 and Mux 1 from Truskmore Channell 53.

When I go to get the signal strength and the picture quality the first line is:

Channel (1) 44 or 53.

What does the 1 in brackets mean. Up to now I thought it was Mux 1 but I see it is there whether it is Mux 1 or Mux 2.

No more mux2 from Three Rock since Friday evening.

glimmerman123 · 17-07-2011 01:38PM

Mux 2 from Maghera off also. Was away for the week so i don't know how long it's been down.

byrnefm · 19-07-2011 11:09PM

Mux 2 is also off from Holywell Hill. Welcome back BBC4 on Freeview!

DigiDec · 19-07-2011 11:22PM

Mux 2 on channel 58 from Three Rock still showing 100% signal and quality for me, I have seen no outages or power reduction since launch date.

Are you sure you're not actually getting it from Kippure? I'm getting nothing here while still getting 90-91% on mux 1.

There's no mux 2 signal from Three Rock at present.(Just checked).
You must be picking up Kippure

DigiDec · 20-07-2011 12:34AM

Must be Kippure so, thought it was strange when people were saying Three Rock was down, I'm on the northside of Dublin and picking it up on both a wideband in the attic and a small indoor aerial on another tv.

Kippure is travelling a fair distance to me as well so it could be that - im 3 miles south of arklow and am picking it up with a 12-14 element ariel (12db gain) pointed at preslie with an amp of 15db also in play. Im in the mount leinster coverage area.

Machinehead · 21-07-2011 02:18PM

Mux 2 tests on ch 24 from Mullaghanish back on air again.

Oops just gone down (14:20).

Galway · 24-07-2011 12:55AM

MUX 2 is off from Maghera (55), Castlebar (25) and Tonabrucky (23). I can only get it now from Cairn Hill (44). TG4 analogue from Cbar now back unimpaired as it co channel with Mux 2 DTT from Tonabrucky.

Machinehead · 24-07-2011 01:11AM

Yep, 3 day's later Maghera mux 2 is still down.

Galway · 27-07-2011 09:52PM

Mux 2 from Cairn Hill (ch. 44) now seems to be off. Castlebar ch 25 seems to be on but is a blank carrier with no channels.

glimmerman123 · 28-07-2011 01:44PM

Looks like mux 2 is off on most transmitters at the moment. I wonder will see it fired up again before RTE2 HD moves over in September?

Sam Russell · 28-07-2011 02:13PM

It is OK from 3 Rock at the moment.

Booms · 29-07-2011 01:54AM

HI Sam, could get no signal from Three Rock at 14:30 yesterday, haven't had a peep out of it all week - you must be picking up Kippure.:)

Sam Russell · 29-07-2011 09:08AM

Could well be, the signal is a lot weaker than mux1. I thought that I could not get Kippure.

stanley1 · 29-07-2011 11:35AM

what frequency is 2nd mux from 3 rock.

TIA

DigiDec · 29-07-2011 11:38AM

ch 58, mux 2 from Three Rock and Kippure

Booms · 29-07-2011 11:51AM

Ch 58 is 770 MHz.

Sam, signal strength is probably your best indication of where you're receiving from. Where I am, I don't see any signal at all from Kippure, although there are still some houses nearby with a vhf "channel 7" aerial for Kippure reception. I remember they used to announce "Teilifis Eireann ar bealach a seacht" on start up.

Sam Russell · 29-07-2011 12:41PM

Signal strength is considerably lower on mux 2, but still a faultless picture. The coathanger aerials are on the edge of reception. No problems with mux1, apart from earlier this week.

stanley1 · 29-07-2011 12:51PM

ok, comes up as future service 1-7 on my vu+duo.

Booms · 29-07-2011 02:13PM

Sam, I hope you're using a digital coathanger?
I found the wooden ones wooden work.

Boom-boom!:D

Mux 2 back up at Mullaghanish with an extra Future Service channel 8.

Future Service 7 & 8 are carrying no video but an MHEG-5 caption for RTÉjr and RTÉ1 +1 .

The RTÉ1 +1 channel on Mux 1 is also displaying the MHEG-5 caption.

MUX 2 launch date ?
