Woodcock Hill Mux 2 down still.

SPAWKER

Mux 2 Ch.57 still down from Claremont Cairn

foxire

Getting Mux 2 from Cairn Hill Channel 44 and Mux 1 from Truskmore Channell 53.

When I go to get the signal strength and the picture quality the first line is:

Channel (1) 44 or 53.

What does the 1 in brackets mean. Up to now I thought it was Mux 1 but I see it is there whether it is Mux 1 or Mux 2.

Booms

No more mux2 from Three Rock since Friday evening.

Mux 2 from Maghera off also. Was away for the week so i don't know how long it's been down.

byrnefm

Mux 2 is also off from Holywell Hill. Welcome back BBC4 on Freeview!

DigiDec

Mux 2 on channel 58 from Three Rock still showing 100% signal and quality for me, I have seen no outages or power reduction since launch date.

Are you sure you're not actually getting it from Kippure? I'm getting nothing here while still getting 90-91% on mux 1.

There's no mux 2 signal from Three Rock at present.(Just checked).
You must be picking up Kippure

DigiDec

Must be Kippure so, thought it was strange when people were saying Three Rock was down, I'm on the northside of Dublin and picking it up on both a wideband in the attic and a small indoor aerial on another tv.

Kippure is travelling a fair distance to me as well so it could be that - im 3 miles south of arklow and am picking it up with a 12-14 element ariel (12db gain) pointed at preslie with an amp of 15db also in play. Im in the mount leinster coverage area.

Machinehead

Mux 2 tests on ch 24 from Mullaghanish back on air again.

Oops just gone down (14:20).

Galway

MUX 2 is off from Maghera (55), Castlebar (25) and Tonabrucky (23). I can only get it now from Cairn Hill (44). TG4 analogue from Cbar now back unimpaired as it co channel with Mux 2 DTT from Tonabrucky.

Machinehead

Yep, 3 day's later Maghera mux 2 is still down.

Galway

Mux 2 from Cairn Hill (ch. 44) now seems to be off. Castlebar ch 25 seems to be on but is a blank carrier with no channels.

glimmerman123

Looks like mux 2 is off on most transmitters at the moment. I wonder will see it fired up again before RTE2 HD moves over in September?

Sam Russell

It is OK from 3 Rock at the moment.

Booms

HI Sam, could get no signal from Three Rock at 14:30 yesterday, haven't had a peep out of it all week - you must be picking up Kippure.:)

Sam Russell

Could well be, the signal is a lot weaker than mux1. I thought that I could not get Kippure.

stanley1

what frequency is 2nd mux from 3 rock.

TIA

DigiDec

ch 58, mux 2 from Three Rock and Kippure

Booms

Ch 58 is 770 MHz.

Sam, signal strength is probably your best indication of where you're receiving from. Where I am, I don't see any signal at all from Kippure, although there are still some houses nearby with a vhf "channel 7" aerial for Kippure reception. I remember they used to announce "Teilifis Eireann ar bealach a seacht" on start up.

Sam Russell

Signal strength is considerably lower on mux 2, but still a faultless picture. The coathanger aerials are on the edge of reception. No problems with mux1, apart from earlier this week.

stanley1

ok, comes up as future service 1-7 on my vu+duo.

Booms

Sam, I hope you're using a digital coathanger?
I found the wooden ones wooden work.

Boom-boom!:D

Mux 2 back up at Mullaghanish with an extra Future Service channel 8.

Future Service 7 & 8 are carrying no video but an MHEG-5 caption for RTÉjr and RTÉ1 +1 .

The RTÉ1 +1 channel on Mux 1 is also displaying the MHEG-5 caption.
