    Hi all,

    I seem to have lost popular DAB stations RTE 1/ 2 and Gold, can only get RTE Radio 1 Extra, was fine until Friday but gone since Saturday.

    I have tried both my DAB radios, any one else have the same problem?

    Are they gone for good??? Hope not coz I really miss them!!

    RTE are running adverts saying Digital Radios need to be retuned, because they have changed the frequencies. Give that a try.

    I see a few people on twitter complaining about having poor/no reception in the last few days too. Hopefully it is just a temporary fault while they are making technical changes.

    Did a retune this week and now receiving 44 stations, live near Dundalk, 4 multiplexes - DAB Ireland Mux 1 & 2, D1 National & BBC National from NI. Transmitters are Clermont Carn, Three Rock, Camlough and Divis. What difference does DAB+ give.

    I also got 4 stations named 'Retune' as well as 'Radio1+' and 'Radio2+' for sixteen stations in total. Didn't get Sunshine or Amazing but that might depend on what part of the country I'm in.

    The 'Retune' stations broadcast music but I haven't had time yet to identify them.

    Yeah I'm in Co. Meath. I lost all my DAB radio stations a few weeks ago.
    Thought it was just my local area lost signal. But this morning, I did an 'autotune', and then a manual search through all the obtainable stations, and they all came back! :)

    I missed my RTE Gold and All 80's! :)
