Hi PJH!
I live in North Belfast not too far from the former location of NVTV's analogue transmitter at Glencairn Museum (known as the Ballygomartin Transmitter) and while their signal was quite weak I linked the local country music programmes on the station. When DSO was about to happen I had a few emails with Dave Hyndman from NVTV but when I contacted NVTV towards the middle of February I got the impression that Dave Hyndman was possibly no longer there. I do realise that the fees for transmission from the Divis transmitter will be quite hefty.
We'll see what September 2014 brings!
