    Saorview Information (29 and 30) have switched from MHEG5 screens to video this morning

    Surely they could increase RTE One's bitrate instead of wasting the bandwidth on a screen with an email address on it

    I see they're also back to the PT8612 sync test pattern on channel 25 (HD). They were showing that odd-looking Philips pattern (the one on the MHEG-5 and HbbTV test channels) that seemed like it was made in Photoshop or something!

    They’re still transmitting the MHEG stream too. My TV briefly displays the normal video but then flickers and changes to the MHEG version.

    HD test on 25 has returned to the Philips-based static pattern.

    What are the chances of new Saorview channels in 2025 besides the likes of Sky Arts which is already on Freeview for anybody with dual access.
