cant believe you can now get crystal clear irish tv and radio now
10 miles from virginia and i installed a new tv and low and behold digital tv off an existing aerial.
sorry if everyone knows this already
if you dont ,try a retune

yup,
and if you have bbc etc off the aerial currently, then you can get all the british channels on digital too.
So BBC 1,2,3,4 ITV 1,2,3,4 and other stuff like Dave, Sky News, Channel 4, E4 etc etc

and like that, all for free!!

The folks have a new Sony tv and most uk and irish channels came up just by plugging in to the aerial with some mysteriously missing that eventually turned out to be caused by water getting into the booster or something.
Since it got fixed they have all uk free view channels as well as the Irish ones coming in loud and clear.

Now. They are north of killeshandra so a fair bit closer to the border than Virginia which is a help in picking up the weaker uk signals from brougher
