On the analogue system in Ireland it is possible to get to receiver the 4 Irish Channels:

irish terrestrial tv channels

Currently the only additional channel available is the RTE news channel & 3e

Additional free-to-air and pay-per-views will expected to become available later

FEATURE: A neat feature of the TR110 is that it allows both

to be combined into a single feed.

How it works:

On the back of the TR110 receiver there are 4 RF connectors
- 'ANT IN' - Feed in lead coming from TV aerial
- 'RF OUT' - Output from DTT box (set by default to CH36)
- 'ANT OUT' - Loop thru' for Analouge aerial channels
- 'RF IN' - Allows Irish analogue channels to be feed back through receiver
Connect the lead coming from the aerial into the 'ANT IN' connector
Connect the RF lead that is going to feed the other room(s) to the 'RF OUT'
- this will allow the other room to receive whatever channels the DTT box is set to e.g. the RTE News channel
Use the short RF cable to connect the 'ANT OUT' to the 'RF IN' port
Now the RF lead going to the other rooms will also contain
- whatever analogue channels were coming in from the Aerial e.g.
- RTE 1,2 TV3 and TG4 along with the RTE News channel
