Reception in Kildare

There is no Saorview site in Kildare and no relay either. The county sits between Three Rock and Kippure to the east, Cairn Hill to the north-west and Mount Leinster to the south, and which one your roof wants depends on the address. Around Naas, Three Rock and Kippure are the likely candidates, but your own address is what decides it. Check your address on 2RN's coverage map (official source, opens in a new tab).

Main Saorview transmitters
  • Three Rock (channels 30 and 33, aerial group A, horizontal)
  • Kippure (channels 34 and 35, aerial group A, horizontal)
  • Mount Leinster (channels 23 and 26, aerial group A, horizontal)
  • Cairn Hill (channels 47 and 44, aerial group B, horizontal)
Relays

None listed for Kildare.

Transmitter details checked 19 September 2026 against 2RN and saorview.ie. Coverage is indicative; an installer measures the signal on the roof.

Questions people actually ask

Which transmitter does Naas use?
Three Rock or Kippure are the likely candidates, but it depends on your address. Run coverage.2rn.ie for your own address; an installer will measure it on the roof anyway.
Is there a relay in Kildare?
No. 2RN lists none in the county, so every Kildare aerial points at one of the main sites in Dublin, Wicklow, Longford or on the Carlow–Wexford border.
What do local installers charge?
One installer covering Kildare publishes aerial installs from €150 including VAT (Sept 2026); another quotes attic installs from €100 and chimney or gable installs from €129.
How much does an aerial install cost in Kildare?
Installers publish aerial installs from about €130 to €290 depending on rooms and roof, dish installs from about €165, and combo Saorview-and-satellite systems in the €250 to €340 range. Those are Dublin and Wicklow prices; rural jobs with long cable runs or a mast can cost more. Get three quotes rather than guessing.
Do I need an aerial and a dish?
An aerial gets you Saorview: RTÉ, Virgin Media, TG4 and the rest. A dish pointed at Astra 28.2°E gets you the free UK channels: BBC, ITV, Channel 4 and Channel 5. Most households that want both get a combo box or a TV with both tuners, fed by one aerial and one dish.
Will the installer know which transmitter to point at?
Yes. A local installer will know whether your address is best served by Three Rock (channels 30 and 33, aerial group A, horizontal) or a relay, and will check the signal on the roof before fixing anything. The Saorview coverage checker at saorview.ie gives an indication for your Eircode too.
What happens after I send the form?
We're still signing up installers in Kildare. We save your request, tell you so straight away, and get back to you when we have someone vetted who can quote.
