    What issues are you having?
    How are the other channels carried on that same frequency as RTÉ2, i.e. TG4, VM1/2, RTÉ News Now?
    What are signal strength and quality readings for that mux/frequency?

    Hi all, having the same issues with RTE2, TG4 and VM 1&2, not VM3 or RTE1.

    Same setup as the OP except with an external aerial. The issue is intermittent but becoming more frequent.

    Any help or advice would be much appreciated.
    Thanks

    As above, what are signal strength and quality readings for that mux/frequency?

    Have you checked the cable connections between TV and aerial?
    Aerial may require a small realignment?

    Hi Cush

    I presume that the mux/frequency are the yellow and red bars. These can go from zero with no signal, to 100% when the signal kicks in. As I said the problem is intermittent.

    Would aerial alignment cause that? I would have thought if the aerial was out of line I would not get a signal at all, or RTE1 and VM3 would also be unavailable?

    Thanks

    Is there an amplifier anywhere in the system?

    No amplifier, straight from a dish and aerial on the roof to an Amiko mini combo box. Worked perfectly with no issues up to a few weeks ago!

    What's the signal like when connected directly to the TV?

    Telly is too old, needs the Amiko. I think it may be a transmitter issue as there is no problems with it this evening and other posters seem to be experiencing similar problems.
