The bright green areas shown where the signal from this transmitter is strong, dark green areas are poorer signals.

maloner: It may well support HD/MPEG4 but is the tuner DVB-T2? If not then that will explain the reason why you can't get it.
Of course PSB3 is at 20kW. All PSBs are at the same power so as to offer the same coverage; it's the COMs which are inferior and on lower power.

A few days ago people in Killyvilly stopped receiving their normal free view channels from their aerial. No one seems to know what the problem is or the solution. I expect they get their signal from Brougher Mountain. Please can you advise us. Thank you.

Pj Gallagher: The last entries showing above your posts show that engineering work was taking place around a month ago, with nothing reported since then. If you have had signal problems for several weeks, there is almost certainly something wrong with your aerial system. It certainly isn't anything to do with this website which has no connection with any broadcaster or transmitter company.
