    I know its was discussed in the past but i wanted to ask the question. Is a Saorview MHEG5 based EPG still on the drawing board. I actually expected that if it was to be used it would have been launched before the Analogue Switch off. The reason i ask is that one of my TV's is a Fully compatible MHEG5 TV but the in built EPG is desperate.

    You are talking about one of the most secretive PSBs in Europe. Most of the staff never know what is happening next.

    Why would you bother for the handful of stations ?

    The DVB-EIT is fine. EPG Grids vary device to device.

    It is so secretive that Sean O'Rouke, the presenter of the RTE One'Clock news on 24th October 2012, described RTE News Now as a new digital station . He obviously never watched Saorview! It had only been on for two years at the time. He never got the memo.

    :mad:

    Don't tell him that
    If he know he was being broadcast on RTE News now, he would ask for double payment...:rolleyes:
