    I did a rescan today for RTÉ2+1. It hasn't launched yet on Saorview. After I did the scan; I found 3 frequencies on my Saorview Triax combo box. It is Ch.54 or 738000 which I assume is for MUX 1 from Kippure. Correct? It was giving me a signal of 2% & quality of 7%. It was giving off distorted sound & picture when I clicked on one of the blank channels.

    I don't know if the high winds from last week may have hit the aerial & swung it to the side. The aerial outside the house is pointed south west from Newtownpark Avenue in Blackrock to Three Rock. There is a dish beside the aerial; the dish is pointed south east.

    Anyone else getting problems with winds hitting your aerials?

    Planned outage?

    RTE2 +1 is supposed to take the slot that 1 +1 shared with RTE Jr so it might appear at 7pm today. Although there's no sign of any placeholder that would normally be shown when off air.

    It would take something odd for an aerial to be 'moved' by the wind: they usually stay fixed in place or just fall down completely. Kippure is practically the same direction as Three Rock from there anyway.
