    Next you'll be telling me I 'm robbing their air.
    How does little old me watching the BBC hurt the British TV Licence Payer.
    I sucked up all their TV signals, I suppose, leaving nothing for Norman in Newcastle or Charles in Chester.

    Come back to me when RTE are not selling cut price advertising from beneath TV3.
    Come back to me when they are not still buying up top shows from under TV3, then putting them on at all hours.
    All enabled by the TV licence crutch.

    Rotten is what it is.

    TV3 have always had more advertising that RTÉ, they recently got an increase which means TV3 have 12 mins of ads per hour in comparison to 6mins per hour on average on RTÉ (max of 9). Get back to me when the opt out advertising isn't eating up the Irish market. Get back to me when TV3 gets that orchestra etc its always wanted.

    You watch BBC for free as poor little Norman and Charles pays €170 :(
    Rotten is what it is feckin Paddies looking for bailouts, while taking our BBC for granted.

    In relation to shows that it buys out from underneath poor little old TV3 and Advertising levels. the EU have investigated both claims and have stated that neither are true. TV3 never bought in the same circles as RTÉ having connections with Fireworks and Granada, where they have exclusive deals thus pushing out RTÉ. While TV3 have always had more ads.

    What time? Will be interesting if this gets mentioned, though it's unlikely

    How did Drivetime cover it?

    Put yourself up as a public service broadcaster, then expect to be held to a few rules.
    Don't come crying to me.
    12 mins per hour if you include 1 and 2.
    Both of which are propped up.

    They have more sense.

    That's the thing, I don't take it for granted.
    I appreciate it.
    Come back to me when the BBC start charging me for it, then we'll talk.

    24 mins of ads when you include 3 and 3e. TV3 might have more sense about such cultural commitments but its isn't a Public Service Broadcaster it just one TV broadcaster in a duopoly in Ireland. It is always easier to press play and cheaper for that matter.

    I hope your not paying a for a cable connection. ;)

    And we wonder why the BBC frequently treat us in a condescending way?
    Any old turnips, any old turnips, any any any old turnips :rolleyes:

    Soarview is now available with the odd couple of clothes hangers it carries both TV3 channels. Of course like Analogue you may need a good Ariel to pick up digital signals. Well I hope your not paying sky ;)

    It was the way you typed them :) Bet you even typed it as in Char-Lis, didn't ya!

    Because an editor/producer took a decision to cut from a rant by a self promoting journalist, that shows political bias?
    A journalist that asked the questions that I, and a large number of people in this country, would have asked were we in the position to ask them, and who refused to let Cowen off the hook when he ignored the premises of the questions. Populism, perhaps, but justified populism.
    Could you tell me what answers Vincent, the venerable caped crusader actually got from Cowen? Nothing, nada, diddly squat, like a thousand journos before him. Old news.... good decision editior!
    Not getting answers does not mean that the questions should not have been asked. That is an important concept and one that you should endeavour to understand.

    Matt Coopers show will be asking the hard questions about RTE last night on his show between now and 6 pm.

    Free to air.

    FTA Analogue or Digital with a special TV or STB or with a Satellite and an STB???? Not that RTÉ haven't being vesting lots of money into an FTA digital system, something their competition have shown little interest in.

    I was being sarcastic in relation to the names :rolleyes:

    Today FM is a music station with a few talks shows thrown in, RTE is the station of record (its kept under Ronan Collins bed)

    Today FM had its licence changed to Music with some chat when it re-branded from Radio Ireland, a national commercial broadcaster. Which is now currently own by Communicorp a large organisation owned by Denis O'Brien which also holds a speech licence in the form of NewsTalk.
    FTA satellite.

    So you have an STB and a Satellite, the couple of extras that you point out you need for saorview.

    Former director of TV at RTE Helen O’Rahilly will be on The Last Word. On Twitter, she said:
    "Sorry, I was Director of TV in RTE……I would resign rather than cut this live feed on national TV………
    Disgraceful. What the F***? A MASSIVE MOMENT IN IRISH HISTORY AND THEY CUT IT ON RTE? I am ashamed I worked there.
    If RTE cut from the live feed of th...at conference, it is truly a scandal…….A MOMENTOUS DAY IN IRELAND…… An explanation please."

    No, that's what you need for saorsat not saorview.
    Get with the programme Elmo.
    Only HD receivers will work for this and you will need a different LNB.
    It's unlikely this service will even be available before March 2011.

    I wasn't talking about SaorSat. I was taking your point that you current receive satellite services via a Satellite, STB etc yet you seem to have a problem with Saorview and the use of a STB/iDTV etc for 3e to 90% of the population.

    Coming up now on Matt Cooper.
