Reception in Offaly

Nothing county-specific is on record; there is no Saorview site or relay in Offaly. Cairn Hill in Longford covers central Ireland, and a forum snippet says the inland counties from Offaly to Westmeath look less well served on the map but that a high-powered site like Cairn Hill covers a lot of flat midlands ground. Maghera and Mount Leinster may reach the south and east. Check your address on 2RN's coverage map (official source, opens in a new tab).

Main Saorview transmitters
  • Cairn Hill (channels 47 and 44, aerial group B, horizontal)
  • Maghera (channels 48 and 46, aerial group B, horizontal)
  • Mount Leinster (channels 23 and 26, aerial group A, horizontal)

Questions people actually ask

Which transmitter does Tullamore use?
Most likely Cairn Hill in Longford, channels 47 and 44, which covers central Ireland. No source on record confirms it for the town; run coverage.2rn.ie for your address.
Is there a relay in Offaly?
No. 2RN lists none in the county.
What do local installers charge?
One installer covering Offaly publishes Saorview aerial installs from €150 including VAT (Sept 2026).
How much does an aerial install cost in Offaly?
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 Cairn Hill (channels 47 and 44, aerial group B, 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 Offaly. We save your request, tell you so straight away, and get back to you when we have someone vetted who can quote.
