hi. Does that mean so saorview could have more tv channels from the UK let’s just say for example itv from uk and more Irish channels too

We did have ITV years back in the form of UTV Ireland. ITV can't broadcast in Southern Ireland because of program rights and advertising that's the official standing .As you may well know ITV can be watched on Satellite and terrestrial overspill in the north and the eastcoast.

2XM is on there too now. I wonder why. Maybe moving the radio channels to make more room on Mux1, or testing to add new radio stations?

Mickey Mike · 11-07-2023 06:45PM

I thought at some point Today FM, Newstalk, Spin, Spirit radio and whatever else might join the platform, but that's now unlikely.

Hotblack Desiato · 12-07-2023 03:57PM

3 religious radio stations would be a bit much, no?

2XM has disappeared again today.

Aidan McCarthy · 13-07-2023 06:06PM

Scan your television or set top box and you should get 2xm back on

Mickey Mike · 13-07-2023 10:23PM

RTE are only doing the fool, swapping, twisting and turning, instead of getting other broadcasters on board like what I've outlined above.

Does the Cúla 4 TV channel along with the possibility of including Sky Arts and Pick need that much bandwidth to be broadcasting on Saorview? There must be another specific reason why 2rn are doing this for some of the the RTÉ Radio channels at the moment. I would have thought the recent video encoder changes that occurred recently on Saorview before the duplicated the RTÉ radio channels appeared would have had enough capacity to be on it.

Aidan McCarthy · 21-07-2023 11:06AM

Hi, there the only reason why saorview is to make more room for the other channels in the funtre and thats the reason why they move The rte radio channels from MUX1 to MUX2 is to have more tv channels. In the funtre so lets just say sky artes but i dont know about pick tv but some news channels like BBC news and euronews and TG4 plus 1 and Cula 4 kids tv channel.

Lets not rule out Virgin Media 5.

What about a good Adult Channel

We have enough of the Chase and whatever else.

Atlantic Dawn · 22-07-2023 08:13PM

RTÉ1+2 might bring RTÉ back from the brink 🤔

Mickey Mike · 22-07-2023 08:14PM

RTE Radio1, RTE2fm, Lyric fm and RnaG will probably remain in MUX1 and solely digital radio channels move to MUX2, I've no idea why.

Mickey Mike · 23-07-2023 12:44PM

I'm surprised RTE Jr radio hasn't moved to mux2, is it just balancing out equally between the 2 muxes.

Aidan McCarthy · 23-07-2023 07:23PM

Also too rollout virgin media news channel on saorview called virgin media news 24

formac25 · 24-07-2023 12:42PM

Virgin Media Test Card

Mickey Mike · 24-07-2023 12:47PM

They might as well take over the whole thing

mackersdublin · 24-07-2023 06:56PM

Why is Clua4 on 16 on my set

Mickey Mike · 01-08-2023 07:23PM

Will Virgin Media 1 go HD any time soon I wonder? There seems to be more room in the multiplexes with all the hidden channels.

Those cheapskates would never pay to go HD.

A retune should restore the correct LCNs.

Mickey Mike · 02-08-2023 11:14AM

Yes it is, after a retune its 18

Aidan McCarthy · 02-08-2023 02:27PM

Scan your saorview set top box or television and you should have cula4 on channel 18 and TG4 plus 1 on channel 14
