    I wish RTE would go free to air on Sky.
    Sky is such a rip off.
    They've been hiking up the price by 2 euros every few months.
    I'm paying 35 euros for basic channels with no hd now and there's never anything on worth watching.
    It's not worth it.
    I'm thinking of dropping Sky altogether after christmas is over and using it as a free to air box.
    In order to watch RTE though I'd have to buy an aerial and a frigging Saorview box.

    They can't without having to change their rights arrangements to cover the UK too, which would soon mean the end of US programming, movies, and non-Irish sports on RTE as they get priced out by UK networks.

    How are you paying 35euros per month as the basic pack is 29.50euro per month
    Any saorview approved TV with sky fta box or get a humax freesat freetime
    RTEtv can't go fta on satellite apart from saorsat because of the live sport or US TV shows are shown ahead of UK TV

    Sky TV is a rip off for pay tv sport/movies etc

    Freesat/saorview will be real competition to pay tv in 2016

    I've been with Sky for years so it's the pack that goes for 39 euros for the new subscribers.
    It's basically what has become the variety pack.
    It was 29 euros a few years ago but Sky kept hiking up the price.
    There isn't even any HD channels with it (well BBC and RTE One but everyone gets those).
    You have to pay 10 euros extra a month for hd channels.

    you can downgrade from the variety package to the original bundle as PBS America and Yesterday are free to air

    I don't see the point in your post. Sounds like you want everything for nothing and then you say there is nothing on to watch anyway.

    I pay Sky €35 a month for basic package with HD and I think it's good value. I also like how the box and software actually works, best in the market in my opinion.

    I don't want everything for nothing I would have been happy if Sky hadn't kept hiking up the prices every few months. This is the second price increase I've had in a period of a few months.
    If they keep continuing hiking up the prices it's going to be ridiculous.
    Anyway as the fellow above me said it's gone off topic so this is my last post on this.
    I don't think I'm paying as much as some people are.
    Ye know what I think of Sky now anyway.

    A lot / most of the programs are not in HD - either that or the descriptions for the programs are incorrect

    Widescreen made this claim before and I provided a list of programming that were in HD even though the EPG didn't say it. That's laziness on the broadcasters part.

    RTE are very poor at stating which are in HD but quite a lot is now HD as all studios at TV centre are HD now

    Does it share space with another channel? Why not let RTE ONE +1 on as well?

    Well it must be just laziness on RTE's part because any HD programmes on TV3 or UTV Ireland are clearly flagged. In fact I think RTE are suddenly getting left behind by the other Irish broadcasters in a lot of their programme quality as well now-they would want to get their eye back on the ball!

    No it's got it's own channel. Has done for quite a long time now.

    Knowing RTÉ it's probably a case of the purchasing dept isn't talking to the publicity dept, who don't talk to scheduling, who don't talk to transmiision, who don't talk to playout, who dont talk to ....:p
    Either that or the unions have realised there is no "HD Flagger" employed :eek:

    Regarding Rte News Now. Wouldn't recording Six One news on series link be a better option? It just seems to be repeated news all the time and I hate how they have too much info on screen like Sky Sports News, prefer full screen.

    Am I right in saying all the Rte channels are now on 12.226 H 27500 5/6 DVB-S (Euro beam)

    I'm not getting anything. I've checked the sids 2801-2808 but nothing showing. I've got signal but no picture. Only picture on SID 2808 RTE 1+1 (Showing Rte 1)

    If you're using a Sky box then you should be getting a picture for RTÉ One HD. You won't see a picture if using a sub on a non Sky box.

    2808 RTE1+1, 2811 RTE Radio 1, 2812 RTE2 fm, 2013 RTE R na G, 2814 Lyric fm on new transponder. No idea what others are.
    Why are these changes taking place? Can all of RTE services fit into this new frequency?
