[QUOTE="barrym, post: 22063, member: 176046"] Bit rich that, seeing as how we are on a forum which discusses how to get normally paid for tv for free! I am a sub to the IT so I'll summarise the article. The article is really a colour piece commenting on a leaked internal RTE doc. The jist is that the BBCs decision to go FTA on Astra will hit RTE. Well surprise, surprise, IMO, it is not as if RTE was not already hit by BBC being widely available via various free, or nearly free and paid for methods. The article does mention the 'perfect reception' element of FTA from Astra as a problem, true that, in many parts of the Emerald Isle terrestrial reception is patchy, it is a measure of the geography, especially in the West, but everybody now has to pay €150 a year for a license!! I suspect the real RTE beef is that they are on the Irish Sky Digital package (to offer better reception and a chance to be on the EPG), they are paying Sky and now BBC will be available in the same reception quality for free. I don't think the item amounts to much, may have been a slow news day.... Bye, Barry [/QUOTE]
