What is happening on Saorsat? Is there any change there?

If so, which PIDs and SID is added on 9 East?

Thanks.

"RTE2 + 1" Now on Saorsat Channel 12
Showing 2rn test screen and beep noise.
No epg data

Must be doing a little work on Stations also TG4, RTÉ NEWS NOW and T na O all Showing as 4.3, black bars on side of SCREEN, a little annoying

I don't have pid or SID info

Is the rte news now channel going to be ended?

I hope not, I think it's a good channel

No, in it proposal the Dept last June RTÉ said

That is good as I thought I read here it was to be chopped. It is a useful channel for news events, major weather events, etc.

I still think a dedicated sport channel is needed.
You could start live sport programmes 30 minutes beforehand on it and not be squeezed by other schedules.
The GAA could have live games on a couple of channels.

Little or no promotion of this. Has anyone seen a promo on RTÉ for this. They are obsessed with promoting DWTS.

Only evidence available of any change is that RTE1 +1 is 24 hour from Wednesday.

Something from the Sun on the new launch

https://www.thesun.ie/tvandshowbiz/tv/3688801/rte-launch-new-channel-rte2-plus-one/

This is from 31/1

Anything on RTÉ to state that it is starting or even a press release.

Similar story here. I wonder if it will still launch on the 13th ? https://www.a516digital.com/2019/02/rte-prepares-to-launch-new-1-channel.html?m=1

They're not launching any new content, so I think it's understandable that there isn't much publicity before the actual launch. They'll probably start to say "See it later on +1 and online" after the launch.

There's a lot of confusion around digital services and platforms. Early advertising could just add to that.

It's to launch tomorrow, should there not be a test or something on Saorview today, like there is on Sky ?

You should see a test pattern of you key in channel number 12. There's a separate one on 14.

Saw that, but Sky now actually showing RTE2+1 programmes with +1 logo etc via other channels, I presume it will appear on EPG tomorrow.

They've been there for years by 2RN. It's a test from RTE we want to see.

The test pattern on 2rn gave 5th of Feb date that is on this thread. It was then removed?

I'm still seeing the 2RN test card on Saorview channel 12 in Dublin tonight

Usual ineptitude from Saorview, RTE1+1 has gone 24 hour, but no sign of RTE2+1, it was supposed to launch on Feb 5th, then Feb 13th, it's available via Sky on other channels, but not launched on Sky EPG either.

It wouldn't be due on air til 7pm

Usual ineptitude This has puzzled me because I can't figure out what on earth you are referring to

Sky make EPG changes in the morning. This is unlikely to appear on any platform today.

To me it is strange that RTÉ haven't put bells and whistles on this, either +1s are the best things ever, or not much to talk about. Even if they aren't up to much or unnecessary you still market them before launch.

Have you never seen any ineptitude from Saorview. Do you for instance have or know anybody that has a saorview connect box.

Saorview Connect is the ultimate example of RTE ineptitude.

I assume you're being sarcastic, as the other posters, who beat me to it said, have you ever heard of Saorview Connect ?

RTE1+1 is on Virgin Media Ireland right now, no sign yet of RTE 2+1

Yes, RTE One+1 on Saorview also. We’ll have to wait & see if RTE2+1 appears at 7pm I suppose.

Just looking at RTE2 schedule from Monday 25th February and changes afoot with the simpsons moved to 4pm double episode and ellen talk show at 5pm and TRTE starts now at 12.25pm and am wondering will they wait till then to launch +1

Oh, very odd. Is there a midterm break that week? Ellen at 5pm is an odd one.

Less than 30 minutes to go, RTE are really working up viewers into a frenzy of anticipation with a test card that's been there forever.

No its after midterm break

I've done a rescan and there's absolutely nothing to see on Saorview in Dublin City.

What channel is it supposed to be on 202?

On Saorview it's supposed to be 12. 202 is 2FM.

No sign of RTE 2 +1. I've just done a manual scan and zilch.

No sign of it on my Saorview box either. Very strange.

Anyone point to me where A. RTÉ have asked the department to change RTÉ2's TRTÉ/RTÉ2 schedule from 4pm to 6pm? B. Where the minister approved this?
