One transponder.

It's easier to tune in with a normal LNB first and then swap over.

The main difference is the VirginMedia channels aren't on it. Also thanks to rights issues some programs are blocked, usually sports stuff.

Bitrates are all very similar. Resolution is identical. Only the Oireachtas channel had slightly lower bit rate last time I looked. There is also a Saorsat info channel which is just a static caption with the website address
