    RTE 2 HD is the only Saorview channel available through other channels as well as the RTE sd Channels, TV3 and TG4.

    Yes but if you don't have a Sky sub or you live in the UK they will be encrypted.

    I'm delighted this has become available on 28e, I don't expect to see the News & Kids channel on there any-time soon though

    "Other Channels" should really be referred to as "Manual Tuning" - you basically can tune in any channel which is at 28.2E and which can be viewed by a Sky Digibox. Of course, for a myriad of reasons (mainly that Sky now views itself as a wireless cable service rather than a satellite broadcaster) it has made it difficult to do this. There was talk at one stage that UK regulatory concerns were the only reason the feature was included at all.

    Yes, I believe that early revisions of the EPG software did not contain the Other Channels facility.

    UPC will have a field day, once you have a HD box you'll get it on UPC. No need for the HD sub.

    If you get an aerial and a Saorview box, you do not need a sub to get it at all. It is FREE.:)

    All this messing between UPC and Sky and their must carry obligations will come to a head fairly soon I would imagine.

    With UPC and Sky now both carrying RTÉ Two HD, and both having/had their own threads in the respective forums now, think this thread has run its course.

    Unstickied and Closed.
