Reception in Tipperary

Tipperary has no main site of its own, but it has Kilduff, a 25 kW relay fed from Cairn Hill that does the job for the middle and north of the county. The Suir valley towns use the Clonmel and Cahir relays fed from Mount Leinster, and Ballina across from Killaloe is fed from Maghera. Four different feeds means four different directions and two aerial groups, so check the address on 2RN's coverage map (official source, opens in a new tab) first. No named blind spots are on record.

Main Saorview transmitters
  • Mount Leinster (channels 23 and 26, aerial group A, horizontal)
  • Maghera (channels 48 and 46, aerial group B, horizontal)
  • Cairn Hill (channels 47 and 44, aerial group B, horizontal)
  • Mullaghanish (channels 21 and 24, aerial group A, horizontal)
Relays
  • Ballina (channels 23 and 26, aerial group A, vertical)
  • Cahir (channels 28 and 25, aerial group A, vertical)
  • Clonmel (channels 42 and 46, aerial group B, horizontal)
  • Kilduff (channels 31 and 37, aerial group A, horizontal)

Since 2024: Saorview listed antenna works at the Cahir relay on 9 September 2026, with a break in reception of up to seven hours.

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 Clonmel use?
The Clonmel relay, channels 42 and 46, horizontal, 0.5 kW, fed from Mount Leinster. Cahir up the road has its own small relay on channels 28 and 25.
Which transmitter does Nenagh use?
No source on record confirms a single site for Nenagh, Thurles or Roscrea. Kilduff, channels 31 and 37, is the high-power relay for mid and north Tipperary; run coverage.2rn.ie for your address.
How much does an aerial install cost in Tipperary?
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 Tipperary. We save your request, tell you so straight away, and get back to you when we have someone vetted who can quote.
