    I love all this RTÉ shouldn't have anything to do with Saorview nonsense. People have very short memories. Remember RTÉ was not going to have anything to do with DTT in the first place. The system was going to be built by commercial interests the government told us, and RTÉ would just rent space on it like everyone else, so we waited, and waited, and waited for the government and “commercial interests” to get their act together. Eventually as the rest of Europe turned off their analogue systems we still had no working DTT system. RTÉ NL then had to build and commission the Irish DTT system in 18 months. RTÉ’s biggest mistake was actually going ahead and building the system, they should have sat back and let the government sort it out or pay the EU fines. Now they are expected to pay all the costs of setting it up and then let everyone else use it for free! RTÉ should tell TV3, TG4, UTVI, Otv, or whoever, that they can pay to setup and run a third mux with nothing to do with 2RN. The government can if it wants, use some of the millions that it gained from ASO to help out.

    We haven't had a post directly related to UTV here in over two pages.

    The best thing here is that we will close the platform-specific UTV threads and continue all discussion here:

    http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2057324314&page=25

    I'm open to a discussion taking place on the broader issue of the Saorview rate card, provided it doesn't stray (as some posters above are doing) into wider political issues. But lets not do it in a thread entitled "UTV Ireland launching on Saorview 1st Jan 2015    .
