Magical Old Style Santa Window at West End, Millstreet
A truly magical window with Santa in his busy workshop has been created at Murphy’s Furniture Store in West End, Millstreet. Because it is in the style of the 1950s we were delighted to share our Mobo Toy Horse which many years ago our very good Friend, Maurice Walsh from Ickenham near London presented to Millstreet Museum. It blends in so very well at Santa’s feet! Chris from Poland, Brendan from Drishane Road and Michael from Fermoy (formerly of West End)….were just three of the many people who were so very impressed by the window which Dan Murphy and his team so very creatively brought to reality. We encourage you to bring young people to share this magical experience in West End and here now are some more images which [read more …] “Magical Old Style Santa Window at West End, Millstreet”

Church Television Signal Restored
In recent days it was brought to our notice that the much appreciated television signal from St. Patrick’s Church, Millstreet was not working. Having alerted the necessary people with expertise in these matters it was discovered that a technical problem existed. Thankfully as the problem was internal and not connected to the aerial on the roof the cost of repair would not be as significant. The signal is now fully restored. Such a facility from a local parish church is indeed special and is quite a rare provision in other areas. The church television signal was initially established and financed by the Presentation Sisters primarily to provide access to church services for the Presentation Convent and St. Joseph’s Community Hospital. Private houses over quite a large area of Millstreet and its environs have also been able to receive the signal. It is transmitted on Channel 53 UHF. Those houses with an aerial pointing in the direction of the Church are most likely to receive the best signal. It can only be tuned in when a service is in progress at the Church where the camera which is focused on the main altar is switched on. (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. [read more …] “LTV2 Programme 226 (Number 6 of 2013/2014 Season)”
