mckeownsean: RT will not be available via .

The that is used in your area would appear to be . It won't broadcast RT but instead it will be broadcast from the adjacent transmitter. There will be many places where a single will be able to receive from both where they are roughly in line.

From your location Divis is at 288 degrees and Black Mountain is at 265 degrees.

In order to receive RT/TG4 channels from Black Mountain you will need a . The broadcasts will be in definition but they use DVB-T2 transmission which is that used for Freeview HD , whereas standard definition ones use DVB-T.

The main thing I can see, and it will depend on your exact location, is that the white building to the left of the Radisson could perhaps be in the way for Black Mountain, but as I say, this depends on whereabouts you live and whether it is in that direction.

Try it and see on 24th, if you have a HD receiver.

If it turns out that you can't get RT from Black Mountain using your existing aerial, then it may be possible to replace the aerial (to get from Black Mountain and Divis), or failing that, is also broadcasting RT and Digital UK suggests that you might be able to receive that.

As ever, take what the predictor says with a pinch of salt. Local obstructions are not taken into account.

Reception of RT from Carnmoney Hill (if possible) would require a separate aerial and this (along with the Divis one) could be combined into one feed. Again, you will need a Freeview HD receiver to watch it.

mckeownsean: Or it "may" be possible to receive from in Co. Louth. I have spotted an which appears to be pointing at it near to you on 36 Upper Stanfield Street, so this may add weight to that as a possibility.

That said, it is important to emphasise that local buildings could scupper your chances and therefore what can and cannot be received from varies from property to property.

The only warning to give is that of signals from Clermont Carn will probably require a . This is because of the different digital systems used in the UK and in the Republic of .

mckeownsean: And finally, will not go onto full transmission until 24th, so don't do anything before then.

The NI Mux from and will carry RT One, RT Two and TG4 only. See:

I'm happy to say that I'm receiving all the BBC as well as radio channels with a good strong in the Newry BT35 area. I have to say in comparison to the picture the digital picture is a lot better and more vibrant.

Before I buy a HD set top box for RTE is there any way I can find out if I can receive a decent enough signal to my home?

Just as an FYI for anyone, I live south of the border in Ardee. I have an LG Smart TV .

I am receiving and MUX BBCA, MUX A and MUX B perfectly without any problems since 10th October.

Based on this I'm pretty certain that come the 24th I'll have the full Saorview and Freeview HD service.
