    I have been trying to help a neighbour to get TV3 on a Terrestrial digital receiver but just can't get it. They are using a Strong Digital Terrestrial Receiver SRT 8010. I can get RTE1, RTE2, RTE News Now and TG4, but no TV3 no matter how many times I do the search. Does anyone have any ideas, maybe a frequency and bandwidth that I can enter manually? Or is it just the fact that TV3 are not yet broadcasting in digital? Any help would be great.

    TV3 was replaced with the RTENL1 test card a while back.

    dont expect to see TV3 again until the official launch.

    dont worry , there's nothing wrong with your equipment

    I would say its because TV3 don't feel need to pay DTT carriage until launch whereas RTÉ, TG4 probably see tests as prelude to launch and are happy to start paying now. Testing is practically done it would appear, with HD being tested at the moment as the last one. We're nearly in June now. Could be World Cup HD testing or not. I would expect September will be a ramp-up. No doubt the Dept of Comms will have to decide on the 2 new broadcasters whether to grant aid or not now. Chances are we may get 6 channels if we're lucky. 3e and RTÉ News Now if they decide against.
