Analogue overage from Moville is patchy here at present and TG4 was turned off yesterday.
I'm waiting to find out what is delivered on 24th October from Moville when the power is increased. Then we'll see if your campaign needs and gets support.

MCMLXII man.
BBC1 analogue Ceefax service continues as before. Teletext service on analogue UTV and Channel 4 is no longer available except page 888, the Sub-titles service. Analogue Teletext service on both UTV and Channel 4 also provides an aerial test page and details of the Digital Switchover on the only other available page, 283.

Frank.
I'm in a similar location and situation - Dunloy Road, Ballymoney with Limavady aerial and amplified Moville aerial.
After re-tuning on 10th October I was receiving almost stable Saorview radio and TV on DVB CH 30. Signal Strength about the same as Freeview UTV and Channel 4 but Signal Quality lower.
The CH 30 signals are from the Holywell Hill transmitter and arrived here as a result of special atmospheric conditions, I've been told.
The sound and pictures were gone by the next day - the weather had changed - but the EPG for all Saorview channels remains - still CH30.
I tried a manual re-tune to "CH 45" which is Moville but found nothing.
I've been re-assured by other contributors to this page and I'm optimistic now that Saorview reception will be OK after DSO on Wednesday.
One helpful person suggested chilling out and listening to the radio on Wednesday morning!
I'm taking her advice and I'm doing no re-tuning until well after 10am on Wednesday when Moville increases power and the directional restrictions are removed.
Some of the more expert contributors may have comment and/or correction to add.

Does anyone know at what time on 24th the Moville transmitter power and direction restrictions cease?

Many thanks.

Is anyone experiencing a problem with Saorview from Moville this afternoon?
I have no programmes at all but do have EPG
I tried a manual re-tune for CH45 but found Signal Strength zero and Quality zero

8.00pm 6 Nov. All OK again - Quality 95% as measured by one device and Good by another.

Michael: Thanks for the reply.
I'm assuming this means there is only a 9 degree angle between Limavady and Moville from BT53 7DH?
Looking from the ground up at my own two outdoor Freeview Limavady and RTE/TG4 Analogue Moville aerials and without being able to measure it I'd guess the angle could be around 10 degrees.
I suppose another important factor is the strength/quality of the signals after Switchover, in particular the Saorview from Moville
