When will Digital TV be available through the Carnmoney transmitter? I need to get a new TV aerial on my roof to receive them. As I am a pensioner I cannot affort extra subscriptions to Sky or any other provider. I had to buy a new small digital TV for my kitchen because the old one broke down. At the moment the old analogue TV in my living room is giving better reception even though both TVs have an aerial booster and are linked to the aerial on the roof. There was brief interruption to the ITV channel today! Reply to this email would help me decide when I should get a new roof TV aerial installed. I am in BT36 6PQ area. Thank you very much.

Mrs Grace Graham:
If you are getting a good analogue signal currently, you may not need a new aerial when Carmoney goes digital next year. There is no such thing as a "digital" aerial, only a reasonable quality aerial, so you may wish to wait until next year to see how good your digital reception is.
Hope this helps,
Adam.

Mrs. Grace Graham:
If you use the postcode checker on Digital UK you may find that you'll receive a signal from Divis post DSO. Carnmoney Hill will be Freeview Lite (post DSO) and will only receive about half the channels compared to Divis (although you'll still get all the channels, plus a few more, that you get now)
I'm currently in Jordanstown (BT37) and receive Digital TV from both Divis and Cambrett Hill in Southwest Scotland.
I'd check with one of the local Aerial installers to see what your best option is.

Carnmoney Hill and Black Mountain will be closed Monday 14th November to all services to and I quote "Facilitate the installation of new antennas " Whilst every effort will be made to maintain service viewers and installers should be aware sudden outages could occur it goes on to say... Sounds interesting but somehow I cannot see all services closing at Black Mountain I assume they are referring to UHF services.
