    Are they off screen, as i aint never seen one.

    All the breakfast crew are relaxed and personable,Vin B,newsreaders are efficient and without the "ego".
    In comparison to the nervous self conscious types RTE seem intent on hiring and sticking with for decades they're light years ahead.

    Only really watch a bit of the breakfast show and Vin B,what goes on in between leaves a lot to be desired in fairness but credit where it's due.

    Vin B who cant get through one auto-cue without fumbling and getting confused, Ireland AM with the vacuous Sinead Desmond and all knowing Cagney, not to mention Sammy Sausages!!! Each to their own i suppose but they all deserve more than a p45.

    Not nearly as many technical hitches either, they (RTE) can't seem to run a news bulletin these days without one occuring

    Its getting worse, there was a Primetime on the other night and it was like the cameraman had his kid on his lap playing with the controls.

    I was in the audience a few months ago, and one of the camera operators had two X-chromosomes!

    The channel has also recently built a 5,000 square-foot HD studio off the M50 motorway in Dublin. It is the biggest purpose-built HD TV facility in Ireland.
    ...which has never been used to broadcast even single second of HD content on their channels. I wish they would stop banging on about this. Nobody cares!

    And their SD output is the lowest definition of any channel out there.
    Its like watching YouTube at 240p.

    In fairness to TV3, they had a good aul stab at The Apprentice. That was probably the best show in terms of entertainment I had seen on an Irish channel at the time. The first season or two anyway.

    Can't say I've watched, or even know of, anything else on the channel apart from the daytime ****e.

    yep it gets really tiring when you hear a station that bleats on about HD studio but shows the programmes in an attrocious SD bitrate quality.

    Ahh they have character you see which means you can relate to them.
    Those wooden autocue types just turn people off.
