Martin: The problem referred to is likely to be related to the wave of high pressure which is currently sweeping across the whole of Ireland, this also affecting Western coastal areas of Scotland as well as the Southern same of England.
As far as Northern Ireland (only) is concerned, the high pressure zone is forecast (AK: William Hepburn) as not clearing the area until late Sunday evening, returning for a brief spell late on Wednesday (27th) / Thursday (28th) before clearing away again later that day.

Hi
I have set the box up with an INDOOR aerial (vertical) in Ballymena, perfect installation of channels and RTE and KEEP IT COUNTRY channel. I then set it up at home in Coleraine Co. Londonderry and information on the epg for saorview channels was missing and out of sequence, also it showed a lot of unknown channels. This was on a rooftop aerial in horizontal fix.Can you solve this problem for me?Joe Deehan
Many thanks

joe deehan: You are most likely receiving a different transmitter at each location and will therefore need to carry out a full retune when moving the TV as each transmitter broadcasts on different frequencies.
