Londonderry (Northern Ireland) Freeview Light transmitter | frThursday 25 October 2012 3:17PM

Dave,
Thank you for your speedy reply. I understand the differences between the main and relay transmitters and plan to rotate the aerial towards Limavady at the weekend to see if that improves things. I won't hold my breath however. Its just quite frustrating after waiting so long for freeview, I can't get the full service. Had just assumed till yesterday that all the channels would be available.
My main confusion was that I was recieving RTE HD and not UK HD but you have cleared that up for me nicely and can only assume my tv does not have a DVB-T2 tuner. As far as I remember (not home at the minute) the model is LG 42LH3000. I plan to buy a digital recorder soon anyhow so will look to getting a freeview hd one which should at least get me the HD channels.

Londonderry
I'm wondering if anyone can help me. I retuned yesterday, which in itself was an anticlimax due to the pathetic amount of channels the Londonderry (NI's second largest city) transmitter recieves. I however noticed that I wasn't getting the UK HD channels despite picking up RTE2 HD from Saorview. I realise that my tv needs to be compatable with Freeview HD in order to pick these up. Does the fact that I am able to recieve the RTE HD channel not mean that my TV is HD compatable and therefore should be able to pick up the UK HD channels also?
Apologies for the tetchy tone of this post however it really grates me that these freeview plans have been years in the making, we have been the very last people to recieve the freeview service and then are landed with much less channels than seemingly 90% of the rest of the country.
