Got a similar response by post too.

Those in NI who are Sky customers should have reasonable expectations to the receive RTE stations without additional charges being lobbed on by Sky.

Careful now

Except for viewers in NI. Just a blank screen here.

Thank goodness for BBC1 HD (No UTV HD yet either.)

Can you not get RTE HD on Saorview? Isnt the programming on UTV almost identical to that of ITV anyway except for the news?

Has RTE2HD disappeared from the Sky EPG for anyone else this evening?

HD+ Box, SD subscription

Channel 227 for me, the number of the channel was changed today.

It's been moved to 227.

Why did Sky change the channels round?

Yeah, its the same for me. I was just inputting the old channel number. I probably should have looked through the listing properly!

Thanks

Still on 102 for me (Sky+HD box with HD sub)... 227 has the SD version.

I think there is a problem with either RTÉ or Sky not flagging programmes that should be in HD ?? HD content is available but the orange print (Or yellow on the new EPG) is very scarce even though programmes are In HD ,,

Sky changed the channel line up because the EPG numbers for different sections were up very high e.g some entertainment channels were up at 290 ( sky arts 2 and 297 for RTÉ two HD/SD. so now there is more room to launch new channels without skipping too many numbers

The All Ireland hurling quarter finals today were supposed to be in HD.
Just watching the highlights now on the Sunday Game and the picture is dreadful for a supposedly HD feed.
It looks like a mix between SD and HD.
Very hard to see the ball,the numbers on the players backs are a blur,the hoardings are blurry too and the ball is hard to see.

The contrast between the Olympics in HD and the hurling is startling .

[Aquos76]

Both hurling matches were broadcast on RTE 1 today which isn't in HD, that's probably why the highlights look so bad.

Fair enough ,I didnt realise that.
The matches today were supposed to be 2 of the 13 matches broadcast in HD this year but due to the Olympics they only used SD.
