Will I be able to receive RTE1/RTE2 and TG4 from the transmitter at Draperstown after switch-over?
Regards Tony

Tony Bujwid: No because RTÃâ° and TG4 are only due to broadcast from three transmitters in the North:
Northern Ireland "mini multiplex" (NIMM) | ukfree.tv - 10 years of independent, free digital TV advice
Some parts not served by these transmitters can pick up from one of the Saorview transmitters outside of NI.
Draperstown will also be Freeview Lite, meaning that it will carry only Public Service channels. These are BBC (inc HDs), UTV, UTV+1, UTVHD, ITV2, Channel 4, Channel 4+1, Channel 4HD, E4, More4 and Channel 5.
The Commercial channels that carry ITV3, Dave, Film4 etc only wish to broadcast from main transmitters where they serve a large volume of viewers.

Tony Bujwid: I have taken another look at this.
Google Streetview pictures taken in your area are dated September 2009.
There are quite a few houses that have an aerial on Draperstown transmitter (aerials vertical) and another horizontally-polarised aerial on a bearing slightly anti-clockwise of Draperstown. By my reckoning the latters are pointing to Holywell Hill.
As Holywell Hill uses Group A channels (bottom third of the band) and Draperstown uses Group B ones (middle third of the band), it is possible to have two aerials and combine the feeds into one downlead so that they can all be viewed via one receiver.

I am in Derry and currently (as of 10th Oct) get the BBC freeview channels and the availablity checker ( Freeview | Coverage Checker ) says I will be getting UTV, CH4, CH5, ITV2, CH4+1, more 4 & E4 and BBCHD, BBC1 HD and CH4 HD after switchover (24th Oct)
I assume this means I am in a freeview lite area. However I doubt I will get Lite TV licence

Vincenzo Mesce: It's definitely running on Freeview and on Virgin Cable. If you're using Freeview, and you have compatible equipment, it should be on 103 alongside BBC One HD on 101, BBC HD on 102, and 4hd on 104. You need a TV, set-top box or PVR with the Freeview HD logo; an 'HD Ready' or 'HD TV' logo is not enough. Check the manual to ensure that it lists support for DVB-T2, not just DVB-T.
It is expected to launch on Freesat and Sky early next year (UTV's press release says 'first quarter').

Vincenzo Mesce: So you have the rest of the Freeview HD channels (101, 102, 104) and you're just missing UTV HD?

Vincenzo Mesce: According to
UTV signs new network deal - UTV Live News
UTV HD should be on Sky shortly. UTV HD should be available on channel 103 via an aerial if you have a TV with Freeview HD built-in or a Freeview HD box.
