You could, and that might be a clever analogy if we were not discussing broadcasting and RTE's support of a broadcast service on pay only platforms on an exclusive basis.

Well okay, what about the RTÉ VOD service that is provided only on UPC? That will never be provided via Saorview, its not capable of it. Should that mean that RTÉ should be barred from providing such a service to UPC customers?

MHEG5 driven text is what UPC digital will be using. Just in case you missed it the first time

More likely OpenTV driven, since that's what UPC's boxes support. But right at this moment in time it is EBU/WST teletext that is being provided.
