Reception in Kilkenny

Kilkenny points at Mount Leinster, 160 kW covering a large area of the south-east, with a group A horizontal aerial. The south of the county has its own relay, Suir Valley, fed from Mount Leinster and vertically polarised. Nothing county-specific about blind spots is on record.

Main Saorview transmitters
  • Mount Leinster (channels 23 and 26, aerial group A, horizontal)
Relays
  • Suir Valley (channels 33 and 36, aerial group A, vertical)

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 Kilkenny city use?
Mount Leinster, channels 23 and 26, the 160 kW site on the Carlow–Wexford border that covers a large area of the south-east.
What is the Suir Valley relay?
A 2 kW relay on channels 33 and 36, vertically polarised and fed from Mount Leinster, that serves the south of the county along the Suir.
What do local installers charge?
One installer covering Kilkenny publishes Saorview aerial installs from €150 including VAT (Sept 2026).
How much does an aerial install cost in Kilkenny?
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 Mount Leinster (channels 23 and 26, 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 Kilkenny. We save your request, tell you so straight away, and get back to you when we have someone vetted who can quote.
