Local Television Signal….Common Questions
As promised we share the first part of our findings following a trip throughout the Duhallow and Sliabh Luachra areas yesterday.
One of the most Common Questions being asked about LTV reception:
“We received quite a good reception on air up to last year…Now we no longer seem to be able to receive any signal. How do we now continue to receive the weekly broadcasts?”
One of the main reasons for this is that we used a VHF transmitter from the Mushera area for years. Use of VHF was no longer permitted from last year thus losing that signal which used to travel far to areas like Taur, Newmarket and could even be received on high ground in areas like Dingle and Castleisland. So now we can only use the UHF signal which does not travel as far as VHF. The new signal we’ve been using in this area is Channel 31 UHF from the Carriganima area (This is on a different frequency from last year). However, lots of areas in Millstreet Town and to the west of the town and beyond could not avail of that signal so Dan Joe Kelleher of LTV suggested that a transmitter placed to the west of the town could pick up the Carriganima signal and redistribute it to a large section of the town and to a large wide area to the west of Millstreet including Gneeveguilla, parts of Rathmore, Knocknagree, the New Line (Rathmore to Sandpit House Road) etc.. Although we did not have funds for this development we decided in the spirit of providing to a wider audience not only LTV2 Millstreet but also LTV1 and the Sunday Specials, to personally finance this extension of the on-air signal. We were also very fortunate to receive the supremely kind permission of a local family to transmit from their setting in ideal conditions. Use of the electricity in constant use for this facility is gauged by meter. The signal from this new transmitter located to the west of the town is proving most successful and is available on Channel 35 UHF. When LTV is not being transmitted Dan Joe broadcasts the Sky Channel EWTN (the religious channel) on a 24/7 basis. Tomorrow we shall share how we found the quality of the signal in the areas we visited and we also explore the very real advantage of online transmission as illustrated by the success of the placing of our weekly LTV2 programmes on You Tube (dedicatedly uploaded by Bernard) making the broadcast available worldwide. If you have any questions please email millstreetmuseum @eircom.net …. (S.R.)

To receive reception one needs to retune analogue settings (available in menu “settings”). When scanning is complete one will now have the new channel – either UHF Channel 30 or UHF Channel 35 (or both in certain areas of Millstreet). All this depends on how strong the signal is in any given area. The UHF Channel 30 signal comes from the Carriganima direction whereas the UHF Channel 35 signal comes from the western side of Millstreet Town. This is now saved and is presently transmitting the EWTN (Religious) Channel.

by
Eily Buckley
Dia is Mhuire diobh go leir a cairde and welcome to News Report 1203 from Millstreet.Fondest greetings dear listeners and I wish you all the very best on this wild and wintery Tuesday morning.
The bad weather did not deter the supporters of the annual dip in the Blackwater on Saturday. But in the interest of safety a shallow part of the swollen river was cordoned off where a great number of brave people dipped in the icy waters for a good cause. Proceeds will go to the Cork County Association for Mental Health Care.
Well done to all concerned.
A monster Table Quiz will be held at the Wallis Arms Hotel on Friday next January 31st to raise funds for some of our 5th year students who are going to Lourdes at Easter as helpers with the IHCPT. They deserve our best support.

Leaders Questions
Áine Collins was on the panel for Leaders Questions on RTÉ 1 today. The discussion centred around transparency in charities, and what the government intends to do so we can see where our donations go to (hopefully not in huge pay packets to people that run the charities like we have been hearing recently). Her direct interest in the topic comes from the fact that she sits on the Public Accounts Committee which will are investivating the revelations of the recent weeks.
The programme can be seen on the RTÉ Player at: http://www.rte.ie/player/ie/show/10245551/. Áine is shown in the discussion from 04:30-09:45, and from 36:00-44:15 [read more …] “Leaders Questions”
