    Getting the message in the EPG that it is, in March. Every programme, every channel.

    Had to re-tune to Three Rock to get the normal EPG but I lose RTE 1 when I do.

    It's just changing frequencies. The new ones (chs. 34 & 35) are already being transmitted alongside the old.

    Enter your eircode here - https://www.saorview.ie/en/changes and here on the Saorview coverage checker - https://www.saorview.ie/en/get/coverage

    If the eircode doesn't work correctly for the coverage checker just enter your address in the search box, hit search and and on the map put the marker on your house.

    Aerial upgrade may be required if after you retune your TV it isn't tuning in the new frequencies from Kippure.

    Eircode issue, I would get an email off to them.

    What eircode does the eircode finder give for your current location?

    Does an eircode need to be case sensitive? I tried with capitals and it worked fine, Google maps works either way.

    The Saorview location data is eircode data so the problem has to fixed by the eircode people.

    You must be my neighbour, it has me in Cadamstown too, though my house is pretty new. I’m nowhere near Offaly. If it doesn’t recognise the eircode, it places you in the middle of the country. The problem lies with the saorview website

    Saorview isn't the problem, eircode is the problem.

    My eircode has never caused any issues and is used regularly... maybe fire off an email to Saorview about their dodgy search function? I don't care what you pretend to believe, im out.

    The eircode finder has nothing to do with Saorview, it is part of the Dept of Communications, Saorview pay a fee to use their data.

    Crossed wires, eircode finder is a Dept of Comms website, you're referring to the location search on the Saorview coverage checker website

    eircode finder here - https://finder.eircode.ie/#/

    Issues with your eircode on the Saorview website is an issue for Saorview if your eircode is correct otherwise. Instead of using your eircode just enter your address and zoom in and put the marker on your house.

    Because of the now, finally obvious, issues with the Eircode search function on the Saorview website, id suggest you edit once again the post where you recommend it, removing said link until such time as it works properly for everyone. Just in case it causes more crossed wires.

    As i said previously my eircode works fine on the Saorview coverage checker website but as you can see on the site there is no reference to using eircode and I have already updated my post to search by address also.

    The frequency change website however does request an eircode.

    As for crossed wires, I assumed most people knew what the eircode finder website was, I use it regularly otherwise I would have included the link in my reply.

    The Saorview website link you recommended originally has a faulty search function, which has the potential to mislead people.
    You should delete it until such time as the problem is rectified, as your personal assumptions or experiences have little to no bearing on the current situation.

    My own experience of the search function is that the eircode search function works correctly. I would suggest you contact Saorview regarding your and Dogg Munde issue with the site, there may be a fault with the eircode date file from the Dept of Communications they may not be aware of.

    I'll do that and in the meantime are you going to remove the misleading link you inadvertently posted.
