    Curiously enough, a manual retune of both muxes yesterday didn't correct the LCNs, but today an auto retune did.

    I wouldn't hold my breath considering it is taking them so long to add RTÉ 2 +1

    Why waste bandwidth on +1 channels ? Implement catch-up via the players similar to Freeview, yes I know that would mean some agreement would be needed with Virgin Media to use their player. RTÉ player & TG4 shouldn't be a problem.

    Imo the bandwidth taken up by these +1 channels would be better used giving us the main stations in HD. Again some agreement with Virgin Media would need to be sorted for that to happen.

    It does seem bizzare starting a +1 channel in this day and age, however ratings for +1 channels show they still have an audience.

    VM HD is not going to happen anytime soon if ever imho

    I agree. Saorview is just a shop window for their cable service at the end of the day.

    I didn't tune at all but I see it on the EPG and when I click on it the on screen message says it's starting on the 8/09/2023.

    Are you checking after 8:00 in the evening? Like BBC4 it co-shares the slot with Cúla4 depending on time of day.

    Cúla4 officially starts at 4pm tomorrow

    And as @Gerry Wicklow said, the channel will timeshare with TG4 +1 on Saorview

    14 'TG4 +1' (20:00-06:00)

    18 'Cúla4' (06:00-20:00)

    It's a disgrace that VM is not HD.

    It should be made part of the broadcast licence that if they broadcast in HD on another service that it should be HD on soarview.

    Is Cula4 on at the weekends?

    Didn't realise it timeshared with tg4+1 but right now I am getting 'Cláir ag tosú ag 20:00'.

    Have you both channels tuned in as separate entries? Cúla4 is on air until 20:00

    I did a full retune on the terrestrial and it seemed to come in as a separate entry. Then after renumbering and reordering the channels it had disappeared.

    If it is sharing would they not be on the same channel anyway?

    Edit. The Challenge channel also isn't there. Maybe I messed up something.

    It's similar to BBC4/Cbeebies. They have different EPG entries. If you select BBC4 during the day you may see and hear Cbeebies (and an error message) but will not get EPG data for it.

    I think it’s just a translation of “coolaboola”.
