Hi Butterbox,
99pc coverage? I for one can receive RTE terrestrial but the quality is very bad, and I know many others who can't receive RTE at all or who's picture quality is awful. Actually this isn't Free to air--we pay a TV licence for it.
As far as I can see RTE has no policy to transmit digitaly they just leave it to Rupert and cable companies, but remember we are paying a TV licence for this.
At the moment Sly is making money because RTE is available on their EPG
Would RTE like to indicate who is paying what for this arangement?
As far as the sugestion that RTE would be transmitting to UK haven't they noticed Sly has effective monopoly in UK and if Sly dont put it on their EPG in UK then its not a problem?
There are vast nos of Irish citizens living in the UK and Europe who would love to relax of an evening to Irish TV, at the moment I beleive this costs €300 or so, this is just mean spirited behavior by a National Broadcaster!
Bye the Bye--Does anyone know--was Ireland allocated a Sat pos under the origional footprint treaty? I keep meaning to check it out but--
