Nelson's Local TV
Radio & Online

DW on Mainland TV Channel 2 comes off the Asiasat 7 satellite which is over the Indian Ocean
It is only a few degrees above the horizon in Nelson so when there is rain clouds over or near Mount Arthur the rain density
at such a low angle attenuates the DW signal
Every time this happens you may see the picture break up followed by a "NO SIGNAL MESSAGE"
We some times run programming from our studio when this happens.
We could fix it with a bigger satellite dish which we have in storage but the Council will not permit it.
We run it as is and apologise for the interruptions at times.
