    You might have to rescan your tuner

    It just appeared on my Samsung TV. My Walker PVR, on the other hand, required a complete rescan of all frequencies.... Not even a manual scan on both channels (48 and 55) could add it.

    So does this mean a reduction in the costs for VM3 which is on the same mux?

    If they can broadcast a promo loop on Saorview for this service during the day - why not just make it 24 hours? Seems ridiculous.

    they have to employ someone to record RTE2 on VHS then move the tape to another machine for broadcast. 24 hour service would require 3 people on a rotating shift!

    By the end of April 2019

    Unknown date - RTÉ2 +1 launches on Saorsat in Northern Ireland.
    According to tvchannellists.com , it isn’t launching on Saorsat until April

    That would be correct. Per their application , they begin broadcasting 7pm Monday to Friday and 12 at weekends

    +1 my (not very technical) sister gets her terrestrial signal from Mt. Leinster. I advised her to do a retune to pick up RTE2+1 on her Samsung TV but she said it was already there when she looked for channel 12.

    It was listed last Monday as well which is why I was checking it out tonight so the rights must be different now

    On a Walker combo box:

    Virgin Media 2 (No 5) mysteriously disappeared in recent days. All other channels were present (this box auto updates the terrestrial list if put in standby from terrestrial rather than Satellite).

    Doing a rescan reinstated it.
    anyone else experience this??

    No, all ok here. Unusual to lose just 1 channel from a mux during a retune.

    Possibly would be nice to see TG4 HD and the Virgin channels HD, but apart from that I can't think of any other channel to add that we don't already have when Saorview is combined with the free to air satellite channels

    Cant see Virgin HD ever, in competition with themselves.

    Why would Virgin pay extra for a competing platform. Right now they run the minimum they can legally get away with. Sadly our toothless regulators are happy with this.

    It is pretty sad that Virgin Media would consider Saorview to be a competitor.
