Clermont Carn Saorview transmitter
Wednesday 24 October 2012 9:53PM

I'm in Lisburn BT28, and receiving Clermont Carn on ch52 (RTE1/RTE2HD/3e/etc) via an amplified indoor aerial (similar to http://www.amazon.co.uk/d…E0), set horizontal and pointed towards Divis! Picking up all muxes via both Divis and Clermont Carn no issues.

Was waiting for the digital switch over to get an aerial installed, but going to just go with the indoor one I've managed to hide away.

I suspect that aerial men may well see a lower volume of work long term with the performance I'm seeing off an indoor aerial!

Jk my LG is the same, rte channels from Ccarn, no UK HD from divis.

I understand its because UK freeview HD uses DVD-T2 with mpeg4. Saorview is DVB-T with mpeg4. So our LG tvs support mpeg4 and DVB-t but not the newer dvb-t2

PaulN: triax 112 doesn't look like it supports DVB-t2 which would explain why you are seeing Ccarn rte and no uk HD

Saorview is NOT DVB-T2, its DVB-T/MPEG-4.

Freeview SD is DVB-T/MPEG-2

Freeview HD is DVB-T2/MPEG-4

So a regular saorview box will be a DVB-T box which will support mpeg2 & 4. Thus the behaviour you are seeing on your TR112 is expected - no freeview HD because it doesnt support DVB-T2.

Dave Lindsay: yes see that now - as you say it ain't consistent - if Whitehead or Bellair were the reason then surely mux1 should be similarly null-ed
