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

I agree and maybe so does Sky, but surely better than a shopping channel, info channel, phone sex channel and some of the religious channels.

The Sunday Times have also been caught offside by the unexpected delay of RTE1 HD and RTE1+1 going on the Sky EPG last Thursday, as they are reporting in today's edition, that both channels have already launched on the Sky EPG !

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?

All RTÉ/TG4/TV3 services are moving to Sky Uplink in the UK.

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)

A lot of last minute confusion as you will see when you refer to the below media news which had to be completely updated. I gather RTÉ were anxious to have their main channel RTÉ One in HD format and some other additions like RTÉ One+1 finally appearing on the Sky Ireland platform in time for the Christmas festive season which is traditionally a very busy time for television viewing. See below link for more precise details, different colour print font and added Update at very end would suggest there were a few very last minute changes outlined!

They say 14th December which is Monday - formal changes to the SKY Digital electronic programme guide are not usually on the EPG until a Tuesday so; I would not be surprised if it is Tuesday 15th December despite the 14th Dec referenced.

Anyone got RTE One HD on EPG 101 now?

Not yet.. working from home and just checked

tvchannellists.com reports 15th December as launch date for RTÉ1 HD, RTÉ1+1 and News Now.

12266 has 15 SD services on it now, so surely the SD versions of RTÉ are going to look terrible now as they have to fight with 8 more channels for bitrate than before on 10744?

Is this just part of Sky's attempt to make SD look as crap as possible to make everyone want to jump to HD for the upgrade in picture quality?

RTEtv channels in hd are part of the basic sky pack

Looking at the Bitrate averages, there should not be any difference. In fact they all seem to have higher peak bitrates, a benefit of stat-muxing in a higher overall bitrate Mux.

Looks like TV3 and UTV Ireland have to talk to BSkyB as 10744 H looks like it's coming down before the end of the year.

Wonder why they won't put our other rte radio digital services the same frequency.

RTÉ is an extremely illogical organisation and probably think that nobody listens to radio on Sky.
They have to keep something exclusively for Saorview after all....

They better turn off DAB in areas that have it so.

So I was right the SD channels now moved from uk spot to euro beam. That frees up their old transponder for freesat.

TV3 are always lagging behind just always, they are deadly. I'm sure UTV Ireland will head for the ITV family.

I'm sure TV3 will join TV3+1 at 11836H, at the last minute of course...

My bad on UTV Ireland, they are on 12188H, PID 4012.

I'm scanning these SD channels in (non sky box) but only rte 1+1 seems operating.

Pete2k · 14-12-2015 04:19PM

Still HD pack only or available to all?

Corholio · 14-12-2015 04:22PM

RTE 1 HD is there on Sky for but is giving a 'have to upgrade' message

Surely don't have the HD pack to get it, I don't have RTE 1 at all now.

RTE +1 says its launching at 7 so maybe it'll come on then?

Quick question.... on the +1 channels, are they always SD? And if so, why can't they be HD also?

RTE One HD and RTE One+1 launch on Sky
