I have a question - I'm looking for an answer! I am receiving 'Asia TV' from Divis and it has thrown the channel into EPG 809 where I have my Soarview channels. I can not find any reference on the internet as to where this channel should be placed in the EPG list - any suggestions?

Denis - there are three television channels and one radio channel from RTE/TG4 are transmitted from Black Mountain not Divis. There are transmitted in UHF39. From the best of my knowledge you need a DVB-T2 device to receive this channel.

Gary : Most indoor aerials are little more than a piece of wire sticking out of an amplifier and will only give good reception if you are close to the transmitter. At 28km away you need a decent rooftop aerial (you may get away with one in the loft) for reliable reception.

I live in the Dundrod area. The nearest transmitter for Freeview is Divis. I am told Black Mountain transmits RTE 1 and 2 and TG4 on Freeview but I cannot pick the up on my TV. I have heard it is possible to get a Freeview+ settop box to connect to the TV to enable to get these channels. Does anyone know if this is true and if so where can i get one? Thanks

JIM MCKEOWN: Do you receive the HD channels on 101-105? If not, you need a box that has the Freeview HD logo (Freeview+ indicates a set top box with a hard drive to make/store recordings).

brianbaron: There are no faults showing for either the Divis or Banbridge transmitters. Perhaps the storm has moved or damaged your aerial. Is it still pointing the in the same direction as the aerials on neighbouring properties?
