john ohare: Its also possible that your tuner is being slightly overloaded by the high level of signal being received from the Camlough transmitter located at only 2 miles away, as it transmits on 630 watts compared to Newry Norths 10watts and Newry South's 20watts.

iam in newry just north i cant pick up divis because of line of sight problem, nearest transmitter is newry north and camlough, tried newry north but this only a 10 w relay, picture not great , would it be possible to come of camlough transmitter bearing in mind that i also have a cd aerial pointing at clermont for rte, i can see that these two transmitters are the same group so how could i mix them or what diplexer could i use, if at all this is possible?

Mr t: To receive the COM multiplexes (Film4, QVC. Sky News etc) you need to be able to receive signals direct from Divis. A group "A" aerial set for horizontal polarisation (and pointing to Divis) is required, assuming you have no local obstructions in the signal path. HD transmissions are available from all UK TV transmitters. To receive these you need a TV or set top box which supports DVB-T2 transmissions. A receiver sold as "HD ready" will normally require the addition of a Freeview HD box.
