    Yes. RTÉNL1 and RTÉNL2. Both can be seen through DTT. There is a thread about them on the Terrestrial board.

    update - I ended up buying a USB DVB-T stick to use in my PC - works great ! ironically spotted the PlayTV in Marks&Spencers yesterday for €75, all of the above shops mentioned either didn't sell them, or didn't have them in stock.

    Depends of what signal you have, aerial, NTL...?

    I have 5 digital channels. City, Setana, Euro News and something else...
    I think City is the best channel. Almost every night from 12am to 6am is PureMusic :cool:
    And during the day couple of times.
    If you will get PlayStationTV you can record PureMusic and play it later ;)

    You are receiving cable tv with a digital terrestrial receiver? Play TV is Digital Terrestrial only.

    PlayTV hardware is being upgraded for HD and 3D. I'd hold out.

    It's a software update not hardware the currently available PlayTV will work. PlayTV is incompatible with the UK Freeview HD, as it uses the DVB-T2 standard but is fine for the rest of Europe in HD .
