    Ireland should aim for the EU deadline of 2012 for a complete switchover to digital TV, the Minister for Communications, Marine and Natural Resources Noel Dempsey TD said yesterday.

    Thats not a deadline Noel , at least not unless you legislate for it and make it a deadline which you won't do. Its safer to say , based on your performance as minister in getting Broadband deployed nationally, that by 2012 , DTT coverage in the republic will probably equal TV3 coverage in 2001.
    He was announcing the rollout of infrastructure for the long-awaited pilot testing for digital terrestrial TV (DTT). All winning tenderers have been chosen and contracts drawn up for the trial, which is scheduled to be operational by the middle of August.

    One wonders what has been going on at 3Rock for ages ??? Surely that should read , 'the OTHER trial' or is it 'the trial reloaded' ???

    Reality asserts itself in telly manaufacturer land
    Speaking recently to siliconrepublic.com, Panasonic Ireland general manager Michael O’Shea said: “CEDA [the consumer electronics distributors association] regularly meets with officials from the department and we constantly express our intense frustration that there’s no progress being made on this. We’re getting further and further behind. We may end up struggling to get products manufactured for the Irish market because we’ll still be asking for TVs with analogue tuners for UHF and VHF.”

    Even after 2012 Michael , what with Dempsey in charge :(
