    According to the minister: “Progress is continuing with plans for the DTT pilot. It is important that free-to-air broadcasts move from an analogue terrestrial basis to a digital terrestrial basis over time. DTT is the more modern free-to-air technology that is being adopted by most countries across Europe in this regard. This limited third-party trial, to be run over approximately 24 months, will help explore and research the potential for DTT in Ireland.

    Bloddy hell, 24 months for a flipping trial!!! It isn't rocket science, it isn't like it is new technology, it has already been rolled out across Europe, muppets.

    Ah for gwads sakes, 24 months? They managed to introduce DTT to a couple of Welsh villages and then switch off three of the four analogue services in the space of three months!

    A trial like this only needs about four to five months, eight to nine at the most.
