    Do we really care - there's a lot of living to be done between now and when the Christmas RTE Guide comes out...

    @OP why not phone rte and ask them instead of posting here and inviting a load of cynical comments...

    So every copy is read by six people? Seems a little high.

    Considering that neither are out yet and this is your only post I'm wondering are you advertising your own Magazine ?

    Personally I use DigiGuide but I will still buy the RTE Guide Christmas Issue. I like doing the crosswords and the movie quiz.

    That's like saying, "You should have Bernard Matthews Turkey Twizzlers for Christmas dinner. They're cheaper than an actual turkey and they only take twenty minutes in the oven."

    If you're thinking of getting DigiGuide you might want to wait a bit. Last year they did a great deal of 2 years subscription for around a fiver at this time.

    Younger members on here wouldnt remember this but when i was a boy, my dad would buy 3 seperate Christmas TV mags. RTE Guide only covered RTE1 and RTE2. TV Times would cover UTV and Channel 4 and Radio Times would cover BBC 1 and BBC 2.
