Looks a bit like this... or at least, that's how I remember it (font seems right, green shade is a bit off, but I'm too lazy to care)!
Edit: meant to say, one of the mockups made on previous page is far better, one can only hope that they decide to change the logo before launch.0 -
You've met my brother then?indeed I know many people (including close relatives) who do not even know how to switch on a computer, never mind use Windows.
He got his first pc 2 years ago and he's no spring chicken.
He got onto a certain broadband providers support centre and the person on the other line asked him to click run..
After a few minutes he had done this and then was told to type cmd
There was another gap of a minute or two after which the call centre person asked him what was going on...to which my brother replied... "I'm looking for the M..where is it?"
My bro is an example of who saorview will be dealing with and the dredges of the pay market that pay tv potentials have decided it's not worth bothering with
By the way now that even RTE is reporting that DTT pay services will not be happening,do we have any idea why they are still bothering with 4 muxes live on mt leinster? Other than jamming of course..0 -

My grammar does suck
I meant to write sore-view:D.
The dtt mess has left people felling sore so it's as good a name as any I suppose.

The spectrum would fetch in the many 10s of millions, if not €100m . Ring fence the first few €10s of millions for RTE to reconfigure and thats that.
The new IPhone would work properly and all
Thats not going to happen, the European mobile industry has 790-862 MHz but were lobbying for 750-862 MHz.
As of the 6th May this frequency range is now set in European law for the Digital Dividend, "Commission Decision 2010/627/EU on harmonised technical conditions of use in the 790-862 MHz frequency band for terrestrial systems capable of providing electronic communications services in the European Union".Today's Decision specifies that all Member States that decide to open the 790-862 MHz spectrum sub-band (the so called 800 MHz band) to services other than broadcasting, should allocate it for wireless broadband services under harmonised technical conditions.
...
From the moment Member States decide to open the 800 MHz band for networks other than terrestrial broadcasting (television), they must immediately apply the harmonised technical rules laid down by the Decision to make these frequencies available to wireless broadband applications.0 -

I know all that Cush which is why I said we would have to use "US Gear".
We will be left with a guaranteed 90mhz of dead spectrum if we allocate it for TV and if we were to allocate 700-806 or simply 700-790 to US standard LTE it would be far more useful in Ireland which relies unduly on mobile broadband owing to myriad policy failures and a bankrupt eircom. We need to have a plan b when that turd steams off to turd heaven.
The co ordination would be straightforward with the UK because the devices are low power, one can always sanitise the border with a no use zone....unlike our loudly squalking MMDS that interferes with UK plans for LTE at a higher and less usable frequency.
Furthermore it would be valuable as distinct from merely dead and the auction would pay for a reconfiguration of DTT to our real requirements. We would still be left with 200mhz for DTT (which is more than enough) between 500mhz and 700mhz.
The issue of the equally moribund VHF3 band also needs dealing with. There is no demand for that either but TV will not be permitted and no interesting technology is anticipated in that band in Ireland.
The idea that we should basically not use around 300mhz of sub 1 gigahertz spectrum is simply insane .....to my mind.
If pay tv is dead lets have a digital dividend of our own on top of the EU one. You know it makes sense Cush 0 -

If we are to release any spectrum for services other than broadcasting it must be firstly be in the range 790-862 MHz and then according to the technical conditions laid down in the regulation. We could of course allocate further outside that range if we wish but that will come from the Comreg and the Dept's Digital Dividend consultation process. A second consultation is due from Comreg so that may be your chance to propose the idea.
The UK has changed its Digital Dividend release plan to bring it in line with EU regs and looks like using the lower release band for tv also.
Regarding VHF3 eventhough Comreg indicated it would not be used for DTT in 2008 there may be something happening in that band according to SRB.
Also regarding MMDS interfering with the UK if you remember we discussed this previously.According to the Ofcom reports MMDS "showed little or no measured interference from MMDS transmitters into north west England" and "virtually no MMDS coverage in England and Wales with MMDS coverage in Northern Ireland limited away from the border areas".
Also, "the information presented here suggests that the existence of MMDS services is unlikely to have a material impact of the value of 2.6GHz spectrum. There are likely to be some constraints in some parts of Northern Ireland which suggests that future use of the 2.6GHz band in Northern Ireland may need to be more closely coordinated with ComReg and UPC".0 -
