Well Armagh transmitter is now live, a little disappointed though it has only given me 10 extra stations (a total of 22), was hoping to have a similar number to the main Belfast transmitter which on last retune was roughly 60 stations...

Richard Cooper: Hi Richard, at all times I'm receiving the national stations from 12B, when I posted Armagh was broadcasting the local stations the transmitter was giving me 10 extra (commercial) stations, they only stayed on air for 3/4 days before being switched off again... (I'm right beside transmitter so signal strength won't be a problem)... I do know the area I live a lot were complaining of their TV service being interrupted while the extra radio stations were broadcasting

Richard Cooper: it's Arqiva who will be looking after the Armagh transmitter & head of a local station has advised it will be live by Autumn at latest... Some of the extra stations that came on during the 2 recent test periods were: Cool FM, Downtown, Downtown Country, BBC Radio Ulster, Absolute Radio 90's, Kiss & Q radio

Is there any way of finding out when local DAB on the Armagh transmitter (Northern Ireland) is due to switch on?, we can only receive the national stations from it now & have seen on Ofcoms page that there is plans to boost our station list, I find DAB coverage very poor overall across NI....
