    It is already launched. That is on about the analogue switch off.

    Hmm. Well, the text on the front of the Irish Times used the word "launch".

    They are using the future tense on RTE when they talk about Saorview, and all the extra channels, like RTE News Now and the children's channel. Perhaps they do not watch Saorview. Even the minister (Rabbitte) talked about the digital service will provide better pictures, etc. The RTE Guide does not list the Saorview channels, just the analogue ones.

    RTE have ignored Saorview, for whatever reason. I would have thought that having spent €70 million on it, they would be pushing it like mad. Also, they would be trying to make the most of it, like showing kid's programmes on the kid's channel at weekends, or showing alternative programmes on RTE 2 HD when the kids programmes were on RTE 2 (analogue). Or even showing their own programmes (Fair City) on the +1 version of RTE 1.
