Below are all of mark's postings, with the most recent are at the bottom of the page.Saw on the news yesterday that RTE1, RTE2 and TG4 will be available on Freeview in NI after DSO. Will viewers in NI need a Freeview HD box to watch? Will the RTE channels be broadcast in DVB/T or DVB/T2?

MEM: They gave BBC2 analogue a lovely send-off here in NI. Later with Jools suddenly stopped and it switched to a still caption about the DSO. Then it cut to a clip of the old 80's stripy BBC2 logo which unrolled as the announcer explained that analogue BBC2 was coming to an end after 48 and a half years then BANG out it went!

Need help getting RTE direct from Clermont Carn. My postcode is predicted to have good reception even though I'm quite far away in Ballymena (BT43 7DX).
My Grundig GUD300HD box is picking up all six muxes from Divis and the NIMM. It is also finding another signal higher up which I assume is Clermont Carn but the box seems unable to 'lock' on this channel as the signal strength constantly wavers from 0% to 5%. Unfortunately this box does not have a manual tuning option, only automatic.

Thanks for the advice so far lads. I live in an apartment block with a commuinal aerial and there already seems to be two - one with vertical elements and one with horizontal elements. I have uploaded a picture of the aerial to imageshack (http://img833.imageshack.us/img833/9116/aeriall.jpg) if that helps.

I'm a bit confused about the dates listed here for the Divis transmitter digital switchover. All other sources claim that DSO will be completed in the UK before the end of 2012 yet this page claims Divis won't switch until March 2013. Which is correct?
