Lost channels? Look here for transmitter/reception issues

Hi There are various threads relating to transmitters being off air. It might be useful to have one thread running. So if you notice an unplanned transmitter outage, post the details here. Include your location, channels and platform affected and the TX site if you know it...

yes. To proper MPEG4 flags to hide stations that don't work.

Nope.
Sometimes preseli is strong enough in the south east to win the battle and come through.
Mt Leinster so far has never been able to do so.
What you are experiencing is a peak of preseli strength briefly that is able to over ride interference from mt leinster.
preseli strength constantly varies and in cases where it gets very strong [frequent enough actually] it's able to damage mt leinster reception in the southeast on even stand alone mt leinster aerials pointed TO mt leinster.

All part of the RTENL mistake..

Just turned on Tv at lunchtime and was suprised that my normally stable Arfon muxes on 41 and 44 were gone. had a look at the diagnostics screen and it looked like RTE mux was coming in on 44? Didn't have time to do a full rescan, anybody else notice 3 rock muxes moving around?

update....all back to normal last night. I wonder if it could have been RTE muxes coming in on 41 and 44 from some distant transmitter due to current high pressure?

I've been getting a lot of breakup on Preseli Ch45 the last few days and even the odd drop-outs on BBC Ch43 which is normally bomb-proof. Just returning to near normal this morning.

I have had no problem with Ch43, however Ch 49 went down for a short period approx an hour over the weekend which was a first for me.
Ch 42 and 46 working well.
I don't have CH45.

It looks like all DTT channels are gone ! There was a power cut in Rathfarnham at 13:15 for about 5 minutes. I cannot get anything on Mvision box or Walker TV.

That is strange. I lost VHF and RTE analogue from 3R, but DTT continued without interuption. Normally I cannot get Kippure, but could that be where it was coming from?

Yes, but there is a great big rock in the way. I am near RTE and cannot get Kippure, or at least I thought not.

@ leblanc and markflynn101.

This is the terrestrial forum - DTT and analogue off an aerial.

You're looking for the cable forum. They may be better able to help you.

The localities concerned are not cabled and these posts are obviously regarding MMDS, which technically is as much 'terrestrial' as Saorview is!, though yes I'd agree the cable forum by convention here would be the best place.

I dont care if you are being pedantic or not. They dont belong in the terrestrial forum. The services indicated are quite obviously operated by UPC for which these people are paying customers to UPC for their pay service. I was simply pointing them in the right direction (Cable & MMDS & IPTV) as quite a lot of similar UPC clients were left in the lurch since Christmas Eve. It is nothing to do with the RTE DTT or analogue network which are terrestrial networks.

DTT is unwatchable here in Tralee, (Mullaghanish via Knockmoyle)

RTE breaking up particularly RTE 2
TV3 cutting out every few seconds

This is happening on different TV's on separate aerials
