Kerry TV on Soarview, Saorsat

Submitted by Watty on 28 August 2010 - 2:58pm

Though there is some new content planned for Irish Digital TV,  really there is nothing new. So far it's really just a replacement of Analogue with very basic repeat of RTE news and possibly the addition of TV3's "3e"

Tralee entrepreneur Carla Horan is planning to form a new commercial TV station dedicated to Kerry.

FM Radio to Stay. Who ever said it was going away?

Submitted by Watty on 18 July 2010 - 9:53am

RTE has started DAB for new Digital Only Radio in Ireland. DAB stations will all also be be on Saorview and Saorsat. We are having an ASO in 2012 (analogue Switch Off).

But FM-VHF is not going away...

Britain and parts of Europe are planning to switch off their analogue signal in favour of Digital Audio Broadcasting (DAB), sparking fears that the same would happen here.

Standard radios can't pick up the digital signal, which would make them, and millions of car radios, obsolete.

Firm date (31-10-10) now for Irish DTT PSB Mux launch?

Submitted by Mayo Exile on 5 March 2010 - 12:19am

According to Eamonn Ryan speaking in the Dail on 2nd March he wants the PSB Mux up and running to 90% of the population by 31st October 2010. Is this finally the 'official' launch of DTT in Ireland? Do people think it will happen? What extra relays I wonder will have to be up and and running to supply 90% coverage. Plus he wants a 'national' service by 31st December 2011. What % coverage qualifies as national. Same as current analogue reception?
