    RTE+1 is a timeshare channel. During the day it is RTE Jnr.

    RTE2HD was primarily launched as a vehicle for Sports broadcasts including those protected on a FTA basis.

    Yes there are plans for more channels especially those wanting to go HD, but it will take time and money. Money isnt exactly plentiful at the moment. As it is, TV3 owe €81m to the state owned IBRC which they cant pay.

    There is a sticky at the top on speculation.
