I could not find where to put this thread under as it concerns DVB-T and not DVB-S.

Anyway, i was wondering if you lived in Southern England like Brighton or similar if you can receive the French DVB-T channels with a good UHF aerial?`

And what about the western parts of the UK facing Ireland, can you get the ROI channels?

Anyone tried this?

In southern Sweden many can receive the channels from Denmark with a good UHF aerial.

I know they are moving the date of the Analogue switch off in the South east of England to coincide with when the French turn off theirs

I guess this would mean that you can get the French Terrestrial channels in the UK otherwise they probably wouldn't bother

Not sure why you would want the Irish stuff though, My TM9100 seems to have picked most of the Irish channels up over preference to the UK ones, Its most annoying when the start advertising things for sale in Euros

Might give it a go one day - Over the years I've received analogue Tv from half of Europe including Sweden, Denmark, Poland, Germany, Italy & Spain

That's the problem with UK, you drive on the wrong side of the road and don't have Euros which makes everything 50% more expensive for your own people.
