    I can get a perfect picture, and I find them unwatchable.

    exactly.

    But initially only RTE2 (before 2nd Mux is available) will only be part time HD, for Sport mostly. To fit all on one mux they can't simulcast RTE2 SD, or have the RTE1+1 and RTE News Now would have to be still slideshow with audio. Then they have enough bit rate for what ever bit of Sport will be HD before Mux 2 is available.

    We are also suggesting that TV3 are willing to pay up for both Analogue and Digital broadcasts until switch over. DTT could just be: -

    RTÉ 1
    RTÉ 2 HD
    RTÉ 1 +1/ Children's
    TG4
    RTÉ News Now

    Until TV3 decided that DTT is worth it, now if the BAI had any balls they would point out that they have given into TV3's demands for Longer ad breaks and will possible given into Product Placement on the channel (not that TV3 haven't always had product placement since 1998 ;) ) and that now is the time for TV3 not to rest on the Licence Fee as a Commercial Broadcaster.

    To quote from the Indo plug for TV3: .....

    "How are TV3 so successful when they have a smaller budget and only one little studio?" he asked.

    Yea, I wondered about that, then looked at their schedule and saw they have a big studio in Granada Manchester where they make loads of programmes, and another big one in London where they make loads of programmes and another in Birmingham where they make loads more programmes ... Oh wait abit - That's ITV that has those. TV3 is the one with the big plasma screens flashing out the same six letters while a skinny bird stand in front reads an autocue.

    But then, if you only have a small budget ......

    Post of the year for me!

    How long did it take for them to sort out wireless lapel/tie mics for use in their "state of the art garden shed studio" ?

    They have built HD studios I assume that they plan to move most of their In-House programmes into that studio.

    Tonight with Vincent Brown only recently went 16:9, so I think HD is a long way off. And they really need to tone down that red background.

    When it comes to toning down, the ghastly red set is the least of their problems.

    If TV3 go HD, the VB show will be the first to go HD because it is so cheap to do so. Nothing moves, everything on it is automated, even down to the guest list.
