    There are 20 channels on the transponder now, 16 yesterday. 5540, 5541, and 5543 are not encrypted, but they are No Audio/Video.

    My only thought is that Sky might be planning to make it available in SD for some subscribers (maybe FTV) while separating the HD version for premium subscribers.

    Yet, I seem to recall that Sky are obliged to provide it in HD as it is on Saorview, under the terms they are allowed to broadcast it.

    So, still have no idea who is responsible for this or what the plan for it might be.

    SD version of RTE One is on Sky already and has been there since RTE launched on Sky. There is still subscribers using SD Sky boxes.
