    Since last week I've lost some channels , have reset the box Edison triton and retuned loads of times but can't figure why some channels are pixelated.

    Rte 1 perfect Q and L levels about 90%
    Rte 2 really low Q and L levels dropping to 20 or 30 and unwatchable pixels
    Virgin 1 gone low Q and L no signal
    Virgin 2 gone same
    TG4 gone same
    Rte 2 +1 is perfect with high Q and L levels
    Virgin 3 perfect high Q and L
    Rte Junior fine
    Rte 1 +1 fine

    Actually just noticed something the ones that are on 546000/8 don't work the ones that work are all 570000/8

    I'm a bit lost fit this system last year from freetv , the aerial is pointed towards tree rock living in swords area , the aerial is https://www.freetv.ie/outdoor-uhf-tv-aerial-kit/?selected_section=discussion&write_review=true

    Any help greatly appreciated !
    Thanks

    Last week, the Divis transmitter in Belfast started using your problem frequency, so unless it's coming through strong enough so close to Three Rock to cause trouble ...

    You could try manually tuning Kippure on 578000.

    You appear to be having an issue with Mux1 (546 MHz/UHF 30) which carries RTÉ2/VM1/VM2 etc. from Three Rock.

    The was a large change of terrestrial frequencies north and south of the border last week but that change did not directly affect Three Rock.

    There was a frequency change at the Divis main transmitter in Belfast that day where one frequency moved from UHF 29 to 30. I'm not sure if this change would affect you in Skerries but it does appear coincidental.

    Use the Saorview coverage checker for your location to see which transmitter is recommended for your location - http://coverage.2rn.ie/index700.php
    Doing a quick check for Skerries the Clermont Carn transmitters appears to be recommended for the Skerries area with Kippure recommended for other areas.
