    And if it stops working in a few months when Saorview makes a change which is incompatible with your box, no doubt you'll be complaining again.

    That reminds me, I must immediately start broading so I can avoid the no broading charge.

    Saorview are making no money on this as they don't manufacture, sell or test any products, in fact it's costing them over €70 million to convert the network from analogue to digital.

    Saorview will never recommend a non approved product - http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?p=76567168

    Back to the piece on TV this morning, good to see the demo including a few common aerials for people to see what they look like.

    The reason they won't recommend non approved boxes is in the main because they want to be certain red button services will work for you and rte will be making money from that.
    Also of course they don't want their channels in the 800's in multichannel areas.

    It has to be said that there ARE commercial reasons here aswell.
    The 70 million is a by d by,it's going to be paid back by the licence fee.It's essentially a very expensive modernisation of the transmission network which is publically owned so publically funded with some commercial income.
