RTE in the UK?

[Angus McDangle]

I believe digibox owners in Eire receive the RTE channel - am I able to get
it in the UK? (Not the radio channel).

A while back (following the demise of Tara), I wrote to RTE, and they
said that they were looking at making (at least some of) their content
available to non .ie residents, but I've not heard more.

As to whether or not you can get it, the answer is, unfortunately, no,
not with out an irish-registered FTV card. (As Eire gets all of the BBC
channels, /me think's this is somewhat unfair). However, you can add
the RTE channels to your other channels lineup and get Aertel teletext
(page 150 is handy for the irish lottery results for one thing).

According to http://www.kingofsat.net/en/freqs.php?pos=28.2E the
settings you want are:

Freq: 10.744
Pol: H
FEC 5/6
SR: 22000

I live just 2 miles from the border on the northern side. I can receive the
4 Irish channels on terrestial but I seldom watch them as I have got used to
Sky+. We were promised by Sky about two to three years ago that the 4 Irish
channels would be available in the North of Ireland and maybe even in
England, Scotland and Wales later. Then there was the excuse of schedules.
Some American episodes of soaps might be shown on RTE first and allegedly
the BBC objected. The BBC are now broadcasting free in the Republic of
Ireland - what about the scheduling now?
Personally I think its politically motivated. I think its become a pawn in
the Stormont discussions - I hope someone can prove me wrong by telling me
why I can receive TV programmes from France, Spain, India, China, South
America etc but I can't receive programmes from 2 miles away,

I live in the Midlands of England and like many others all I flikkin' want is a replacement for
TARA. a channel which used to broadcast archive + some live Irish produced programming.

All English language program producers around the world probably feature on UK DSTV but Ireland's
producers are probably the ones who have the least percentage of their total available product
broadcast on UK DSTV.
