Do I Need to Change My TV Aerial for Saorview?

There are a few simple rules to take into account when determining what type of TV Aerial you need for Saorview and if in fact, your existing TV Aerial will do the job. See the points below to work out if you need a new Aerial for Saorview.

Basically if you have an existing aerial and are currently receiving some or all of the Irish channels through it, then what you need to check is if you are currently able to get;

  • RTE 1 & RTE 2, TV3 & TG4 = You have the correct UHF TV aerial, no need to change or reposition
  • RTE 1, RTE 2 & TG4 = Your UHF Aerial is OK but you need to point it in a different direction
  • RTE 1 & RTE 2 = You probably have a VHF aerial, you will need a new aerial

This of course is if you have an existing Aerial. If you want Saorview and don't have an Aerial, you will need to buy one. To see they correct type of Aerial for your location, check out the transmitter map below.
