    Apparently, RTE 1 was fta earlier today, as reported on flysat. It's not now. Did anyone here notice? A sign of things to come? (not!)

    It would make sense to unencrypt the programmes they make themselves. Cheaper than the proposed RTÉ International. Perhaps they were testing something like that.

    By the time it was posted on certain websites it had gone, I'm betting it was a mistake, nothing more. It happens more than you think it is just never really reported as it doesn't usually stay FTA for long. People just seem to have a thing for Irish channels and when one of them does something like this it becomes big news to some. I doubt RTÉ will ever be FTA.

    I believe a fee must be payed in Holland also. In Spain they are encrypted also. I am sure there are many others. I fail to see how this is the fault of the Irish government.
